Hartlepool MP 'more than happy' to meet with dad of missing Katrice Lee
It's been more than 40 years since the toddler was last seen in Germany
The MP for Hartlepool says he is more than happy to meet with the dad of a toddler who has been missing for more than 40 years.
Richard Lee has been fighting to find out what happened to two year-old Katrice since her disappearance in Germany in 1981.
Jonathan Brash, Hartlepool MP, said: "I haven't met with them yet but I'm very keen and happy to of course. It's been a whirlwind but I'm back in the constituency now. I'm very happy to meet as it's a very tragic situation.
"I'll support him in whatever way I can. Obviously it's incredibly difficult and a challenging situation, but my door is always open to every constituent of Hartlepool to support them in whatever way I can. I'll certainly be very happy to meet and do what I can to help.
"I'll try and help arrange whatever meeting is necessary. I can't promise anything on the radio as there are lots of steps to go through, but I can certainly promise that I'll meet with him and if I can arrange further meetings that are of use to try resolving the situation then of course, yes I'll do that."
