Rishi Sunak ‘concerned’ Nicola Bulley cops released ‘private information’ after revealing she had ‘alcohol issues’

RISHI Sunak has expressed his concerns at police revealing personal information about missing Nicola Bulley.

The PM added his name to a growing list of MPs and senior police figures who have questioned Lancashire Police.

The force has come under fire for divulging private details about Nicola that made her a high-risk missing person.

Rishi said he was "concerned that private information was put into the public domain".

He added: "I'm pleased that the police are looking at how that happened in the investigation.

"Obviously my thoughts are with Nicola's friends and family and the focus must now be on continuing to try and find her."

In a press conference on Wednesday, officers revealed Nicola was classed as high risk due to "specific vulnerabilities".

They later said Nicola had been struggling with alcohol issues and the menopause and had stopped taking HRT medication.

An internal review has now been launched into the investigation by Lancashire Police.

The force has also referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman has now spoken with police leaders about the case.

A source outlined her concerns over the disclosure during a meeting with Chief Constable Chris Rowley and his senior team on Friday.

She reportedly "asked to be kept updated on the investigation".

It comes after Nicola's family spoke of their anguish yesterday as her disappearance reached the three-week mark.

Her sister Louise Cunningham said: "Three weeks today without you home.

"We all miss you so much, time to come home now".

Louise shared the post alongside an image of her, Nicola and their mum Dot.

While Nicola's dad Ernie Bulley revealed "every day is a struggle" following his daughter's disappearance.
