Brian Binley MP for Northampton South has called for a full inquiry to be held in public following the death of a young women at the Lava and Ignite Nightclub in Northampton in the early hours of this morning.
Brian said: “My thoughts are with the family and friends of the young lady who sadly lost her life and others who were injured and it is important that they get some answers so that they can have some closure.”
“There are many serious questions which need answering as to how this tragic incident occurred. For instance what door control methods were in place? How many people were inside the club at the time? Was this above the legal limit and did it breach licensing laws?”
“It is also important that we establish answers to these questions so that we can make sure that this never happens again, not only in Northampton but also in other nightclubs up and down the Country.”
“This is clearly a matter of national importance as a comment on the Daily Mail website from Edinburgh states: ‘Been to a Lava and Ignite nightclub in Edinburgh and I am not surprised by this story. The stairs leading up to the upstairs dance floor became incredibly packed and people were stuck half way downstairs for a good 30 minutes while people pushed, it was incredible no one was hurt.’”
Brian continued: “On the basis of these comments youngsters and their families have the right to know that when they go into a nightclub they are safe.”
Northamptonshire Police have stated that a multi-agency approach had been launched to investigate the incident and that inquires were ongoing.
