The former chief executive of riot-hit Ealing LBC, Darra Singh, has been appointed to head the official inquiry into last month's disturbances across England.
Mr Singh, the current chief of Jobcentre Plus, will lead a seven-month inquiry into the rioting and looting which quickly spread from London to Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and other major cities – and which ended with five people dead and hundreds of business, homes and community facilities damaged.
