James Bulger's death to be debated in Parliament as his dad pleads for killer to be named

James Bulger's murder will be debated in Parliament, his dad has revealed.

In 2018, more than 200,000 people signed a petition calling for a public inquiry into the killing. The bid, which was backed by James’ mum Denise Fergus, was rejected by Theresa May's government.
