The UK’s opposition Conservative Party will seek a vote in parliament on Wednesday calling for a national inquiry into so-called child grooming gangs, in an effort to pose a political problem for Keir Starmer’s Labour government while winning the attention of billionaire Elon Musk.

British lawmakers voted against an amendment to hold a national inquiry into the U.K. grooming scandal, amid international pressure from Elon Musk and others.

An attempt by the Conservatives to have the government set up a national inquiry into grooming gangs has been voted down by 364 votes to 111 votes, a margin of 253. The amendment was attached to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill,
