THE parents of murdered nurse Jane Clough have met David Cameron at Number 10 Downing Street at a special event to mark International Women's Day.

John and Penny Clough, from Barrowford, were among a select few invited to join the Prime Minister at the special reception between 10am and noon yesterday.

Miss Clough, 26, was stabbed by her former partner Jonathan Vass.

He was on bail accused of raping her.

Following her death, her parents launched the Justice for Jane campaign in an attempt to have the country’s bail laws changed.

The amendment to the Bail Act, backed by the House of Lords, allows prosecutors to appeal against a crown court judge’s bail ruling at the High Court.

Earlier this year Mr Cameron lent his support to the campaign when asked what he thought of the Cloughs’ proposals by Pendle MP Andrew Stephenson.

On arrival at the gates of Downing Street, the Cloughs were greeted by officials who escorted them to meet Mr Cameron.

The reception was organised to tie in with International Women’s Day, which marks efforts to eliminate violence against women and girls at home and abroad.

Miss Clough’s parents have said they believe their daughter would still be alive if the Crown Prosecution Service had the right to challenge bail decisions in 2010.
