I’m sure she does. She was on a clock. Why couldn’t Khan answer her question?
Are there grooming gangs in London?
Yes, there are grooming gangs in London. We are a very large city and unfortunately this issue hasn’t escaped us. I would infer from the questioner given her history that she is alluding to whether these gangs are of a particular race. Let me be clear that I won’t be drawn on the race specifics of the gangs. It should be clear to all from the uncovering of these gangs that they are of all races. But I will also make it clear to the women and girls of London that the race of any gang will not impact any investigation by the Metropolitan Police who will pursue these gangs without fear or favour, because the safety of women and girls is the priority.
Instead, we got, “sorry, I don’t get it”.
