Sir David, the former Brexit secretary, has previously told The Independent he plans to spearhead an investigation questioning the conviction of Letby after a number of experts cast doubt over her guilt.
Sir David said he hopes to visit Letby in prison as part of an investigation into whether the serial baby killer may be the victim of a miscarriage of justice.

Writing in The Sunday Times, Sir David said that Mr Lynch, who was one of seven people to die in the yachting tragedy, shared his concerns about Letby’s conviction.
