A former West Yorkshire MP who led a campaign against child grooming will appear in the House of Commons today.
Ann Cryer, former Keighley MP, will give evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee, which is leading a far-reaching inquiry into the issue of child grooming - in particular the alleged failure of Rotherham Borough Council to protect victims.
