Shipley MP Philip Davies is to meet the Secretary of State for Justice after demanding a report into a convicted murderer be released.

Predatory paedophile Stephen Ayre raped a ten-year-old boy in Saltaire while he was out of prison on licence, after serving 20 years for killing a woman in 1984.

A probation report into the case has not been released in full due to privacy concerns.

The Tory MP raised the issues in the House of Commons. He said: “Will he [Secretary of State Chris Grayling] release the internal inquiry report by the probation service into the case of Stephen Ayre who, after leaving prison, abducted and raped a ten-year-old boy in my constituency as a result of some appalling failures both in the parole system and in the probation system?”

Mr Grayling replied: “In normal circumstances in a serious further offence the family will see the report that is carried out.

“I will happily meet my honourable friend to discuss the issue. He rightly highlights the very real challenge we face with reoffending in this country, because when it does take place, families are the victims of what happens and sometimes go through terrible circumstances.

“Some 3,000 very serious crimes committed by offenders who get no supervision is something that we all need to stop.”
