There must be an independent inquiry into a “shocking” oil spill that hit a south London river and destroyed wildlife, an MP has said.

Carshalton and Wallington MP Bobby Dean is on Wednesday hosting a Westminster Hall debate over the estimated 4,000 litres of diesel which poured into the River Wandle last month.
