Sir Keir Starmer said: "Can I again say how tragic this case is? I pay tribute to all of those campaigning on this. I think it's really important that they've secured the debate. I'm not quite sure when the debate is but I'll certainly be keeping a very careful eye on it.
"I think it's a really important case. It's also important that the Secretary of State keeps meeting with the family to see what more we can do. It is a tragic case and I want to make sure that we've done everything we possibly can to support the family."
