§ Mr. Paul MarsdenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what categories of public figures are being investigated as part of Operation Ore. [107199]
§ Hilary BennIndividuals who are being investigated as a result of Operation Ore come from a wide range of professions, and it is not appropriate for me to provide further details of what remain on-going investigations. Investigations to date have sought to prioritise suspects who come from sensitive professions such as those who work with children/vulnerable people, in positions of authority, as well as those on the sex offenders register or those under investigation for similar crimes.
