A Cumbrian MP says the county's police Chief Constable should resign in the wake of the Poppi Worthington scandal.
The Barrow toddler died in 2012 - last month, a judge ruled she'd likely been sexually abused by her father shortly before her death; he's always denied wrongdoing.
Cumbria Police has been criticisted for its initial treatment of the case.
Furness MP John Woodcock told a commons debate yesterday that the now acting Chief Constable Michelle Skeer played a part in the bungled investigation - and says she should step down.
Speaking after the debate Mr Woodcock said: “The flawed rules that keep reports from the police watchdog hidden has led to an acting chief constable being appointed despite serious criticism of her role in this tragic and shocking case.
"I welcome the government commitment to review the rules but I urge Cumbria's Commissioner to act now and compel Michelle Skeer to stand aside from her role.
"She was appointed by a flawed process and her continued tenure is detrimental to restoring confidence in the force and ensuring changes are made and people are held accountable for the failed investigation into Poppi Worthington's death."
