Prime Minister Andy Burnham is "looking into" the possibility of holding a public enquiry into the UK activities of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to victims minister Alex Davies-Jones.
Speaking to BBC Newsnight, Ms Davies-Jones said that the Prime Minister had agreed to meet Epstein's victims. She also stated that the government is reviewing whether the alleged actions of former Harrod's owner Mohamed Al Fayed could be included in an enquiry.
Ms Davies-Jones, who was reappointed as victims minister when Mr Burnham took office, discussed holding a public enquiry into the alleged behaviour of Epstein and Al Fayed with the Prime Minister and Cabinet Secretary Dame Antonia Romeo during her re-appointment.
She told the programme that she had been assured the Prime Minister is taking the matter seriously and will meet with victims to consider possible actions.
