PM ‘has no intention’ to meet family over son’s death

THE FAMILY of teenage motorcyclist Harry Dunn have accused the Prime Minister of having “no wish or intention” to meet them to discuss their son’s death.

The 19-year-old’s parents, Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn, had been hopeful of a meeting with Boris Johnson after they said they had “repeated assurances” from senior members of his Cabinet.

In recent weeks, Mr Dunn’s parents have met Home Secretary Priti Patel, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab and had numerous discussions with their constituency MP Andrea Leadsom.

Ms Leadsom wrote a letter to the Prime Minister requesting a meeting with the family earlier this month.

Mr Dunn was killed when his motorcycle crashed into a car outside RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire on August 27 last year.

Anne Sacoolas, 42, the wife of a US intelligence official, claimed diplomatic immunity after the collision and was able to return to her home country, sparking an international controversy.

The US State Department has said the UK’s extradition request for Mrs Sacoolas is highly inappropriate and would be an abuse.

Family spokesman Radd Seiger said: “I have made numerous attempts to arrange the meeting and said we will meet anytime, anywhere and the meeting need not be a long one. Each offer has either been rebuffed or ignored.”

Addressing how the parents felt about the Prime Minister, Mr Seiger said: “Unfortunately, the parents’ worst fears about Johnson have come true and they are beside themselves with upset.

“The parents will simply move forward now with the dignity and courage they have always shown, determined now more than ever to fulfil their promise to Harry to get him justice.”

A Downing Street spokesman said: “The legal process is ongoing and the UK has submitted the extradition request. The Prime Minister will continue to work to get justice for Harry.”
