The Prime Minister contradicted his own victims minister, Alex Davies-Jones, who previously suggested an official review was possible. She had told the BBC that Burnham was seriously considering investigating the late sex offender and former Harrods owner Mohamed Fayed. A Downing Street source confirmed no investigation is planned, though Burnham has promised to meet the survivors.
