Sir Keir Starmer may be required to provide evidence to the grooming gangs inquiry, with hearings reported to begin in December. The coverage indicates that his involvement is being treated as part of the inquiry process, rather than something concluded already.
Several outlets say Starmer has been designated as a key or “core” participant, which can lead to him being formally called to give evidence. Sky News frames the item around the potential need for Starmer to testify and the timing of the hearings, while The Independent emphasizes his core-participant status. The Daily Express similarly reports that he could be summoned and highlights that Starmer has previously defended his role in the scandal.
