PAUL and Andrea Gallagher are demanding a meeting with Tony Blair to discuss the death of their son.

Toddler Paul was killed when he was hit by an unmanned speedboat during a family holiday in the Bahamas four years ago.

A joint police review into the fatality recommended the case to be reopened and manslaughter charges to be brought against the boat driver James Bain.

But despite a warrant being issued for his arrest in November, nothing has yet happened.

Following media coverage of the report, the Gallaghers, of Repton Road, Orpington, were optimistic about a meeting with Foreign Office Minister Lord Triesman last week.

But they were "intensely frustrated" to hear the boat driver has still not been arrested.

Immediately after the meeting, the Gallaghers delivered a letter to 10 Downing Street asking to meet the Prime Minister personally.

Mr Gallagher said: "Nearly five years on, nothing concrete has happened.

"I want to see Mr Blair and ask him What would you do if it was your son'?

"The worst thing is we don't know why (the boat driver) hasn't been arrested.

"Has he done a runner? Is he still driving a boat? No one is telling us anything.

"Even Mr Triesman admitted the process can be frustratingly slow', but I don't believe the police would find it difficult to find James Bain. It's a small island."

The review, which was conducted by the Met Police and the Royal Bahamas Police Force also described the original investigation as "flawed" and "poorly resourced".

Mr Bain did not have a captain's licence at the time of the incident, and the boat was unlicensed and unregistered when it struck Paul.

Blood samples provided by him also reveal Mr Bain had cannabis in his system, although these samples were not tested until four years after the August 2002 incident.
