Commons leader Harriet Harman spoke as MPs from all parties demanded an urgent debate on bail conditions for violent criminals.

Mr Newlove, a 47-year-old sales manager, was kicked to death by three teenagers outside his Warrington home last August.

On Wednesday, following their convictions at Chester Crown Court for his murder, it emerged one of them, Adam Swellings, 19, from Crewe, had been bailed from custody just hours before the fatal attack.

Warrington North MP, Labour's Helen Jones, called for a Commons debate on bail conditions and has written to the Attorney General calling for an inquiry into why Swellings was set free.

He had been bailed on condition he stayed away from Warrington but never left the town. Instead he met up with fellow gang members Stephen Sorton, 17, of Warrington, and 16-year-old Jordan Cunliffe, formerly of Warrington, and began their drink and drugs binge.

Labour MP Ms Jones said: "What was done to ensure he (Swellings) complied with that condition? My understanding is that Adam Swellings had a history of offences and breaching court orders. There are serious questions that need to be asked about this."

Ms Harman said she would raise the matter with Home Secretary Jacqui Smith.

She added: "We all want to learn the lessons of that terrible crime and we continue to be determined to take action against serious violent crime."

In an email sent on Thursday morning to Sky News, legal secretary Helen Newlove, 44, said: "I will be making sure that they [politicians] do not just sit up and listen to me but put action into place to protect society and make these people who we vote in to parliament carry out their promises and make our streets safer."
