JUSTICE Secretary Jack Straw will meet James Bulger's mother Denise Fergus, following the recall to custody of one of the toddler's killers, the Ministry of Justice said tonight.
Jon Venables has reportedly made several trips to the city where he murdered the toddler, since being released, despite a ban on him doing so.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "The Justice Secretary has received a request to meet with Mrs Fergus. He plans to make arrangements to do so."
