00:00I know the Prime Minister is aware of the case of my constituent Zahra Sharif, who was

00:07brutally tortured and appallingly murdered by her father and her stepmother. I want Zahra's

00:13legacy to be one where she is the last fundable child to be killed by people who should have

00:18looked after her. Will the Prime Minister ensure that an independent inquest and review

00:24is taken into Zahra's death, and it is held immediately in the new year, so we can learn

00:29why public authorities failed, so we can ensure that it never happens again?

00:36He rightly raises this absolutely harrowing case. It is important that all the lessons

00:44are learned. There is an independent process going on, but we must be clear about overhauling

00:50children's social care to keep young people safe, and looking again at the framework for

00:56homeschooling, among other things. We need to learn those lessons. We are taking steps.

01:02There is a process going on at the moment, and I will update the House in due course.
