This is the best summary I could come up with:
The parents of Harry Dunn, a teenage motorcyclist killed in a road collision, accused the US of “obstructing” their son’s inquest, as they said they were looking forward to working with the next Westminster government to establish a public inquiry.
Seiger told the PA news agency that Labour had promised the family a public inquiry into how Sacoolas was able to cause the 19-year-old’s death in August 2019 and leave the country after diplomatic immunity was asserted on her behalf.
Pember also issued three prevention of future death notices: two to the health secretary regarding drugs carried by paramedics and overstretched ambulance services; and one to the Foreign Office and Ministry of Defence addressing the training by the US of drivers in the UK.
“As we have all seen this week, their attitude and approach to keeping their British hosts safe has been laid bare and they have positively obstructed the coroner’s inquiry and deprived the family of the answers they were entitled to as to why no one has ever addressed the issue of safety of UK citizens.
“Labour have promised us a public inquiry into the way we were treated and the failure on the part of both governments over the decades to address the issue of safety, which has led to thousands of people being killed and seriously injured.”
A Labour spokesperson said: “A Labour-run Foreign Office would conduct an inquiry into the failures the Conservative government made over the case of Harry Dunn to ensure lessons are properly learnt.
