House of Commons debate — 'Lucy Letby Case: Conduct of Cheshire Police'

The House of Commons holds a debate titled 'Lucy Letby Case: Conduct of Cheshire Police' under which MPs raise concerns about the conduct of Cheshire Constabulary's investigation, including alleged failures of expertise and a failure to follow 'all reasonable lines of inquiry'. Cheshire Constabulary subsequently refutes the characterisation of 'egregious' failures. The debate complements the 18 March 2026 Early Day Motion and is part of the building parliamentary scrutiny of the Letby investigation in the first half of 2026.
