Hull North MP Diana Johnson says she'll complain to the government about Hull City Council's internal report into baby ashes - which was released last month.

Ms Johnson thinks the report doesn't go into enough detail and should be carried out by an independent legal expert.

The council says it's worked extensively with affected families - and will continue to do so.
