The MP for Hull North Diana Johnson has told the Commons the Department of Health should not be involved in an inquiry into the contaminated blood scandal.

The government hasn't yet decided what kind of inquiry will be held.

The government is looking at having a judge-led investigation or setting up a Hillsborough style panel.
