Sir Keir Starmer is under pressure to honour his promise of a public inquiry into claims of a Government cover-up over the death of seven-year-old Zane Gbangbola.
Sir Keir Starmer is facing mounting pressure to honour his promise to launch a public inquiry into claims of a Government cover-up over a schoolboy who died from toxic fumes.
Little Zane died during flooding after the Thames burst its banks in Chertsey, Surrey, in 2014. It is suspected that lethal hydrogen cyanide gas seeped in from an old military landfill site. His father, Kye Gbangbola, who was paralysed in the same incident that killed his son, said: 'Now that Sir Keir at last has the power to grant our request, we hope he will stand by his promise.'
Zane's parents will be joined by Ian Murray, the President of the Fire Brigades Union, and together they will be handing the PM a petition signed by more than 118,000 people demanding an inquiry. 'That didn't happened because at the inquest there wasn't that fearless quest for the truth but a narrow inquiry into the cause of death.'
