John Woodcock is calling for a public inquiry into the botched police investigation following the death of the Barrow toddler.
Speaking after the meeting he said: “I am pleased that the Home Secretary took time to see me tonight and made clear she recognises the community is reeling over Poppi’s death and the terrible failings that surround it.

“Ministers always stress they cannot direct the Crown Prosecution Service who we are praying will look at the case in a fresh light following the coroner’s verdict, but the Home Secretary can act to help restore confidence in our policing system which has been badly damaged by this terrible affair.”
