Poplar and Limehouse MP Apsana Begum
LABOUR MP Apsana Begum has called for a full investigation into the collapse of a crane which killed an 85-year-old woman in east London.
June Harvey died and a construction worker suffered critical injuries when the construction site crane collapsed onto two terraced houses in Bow on Wednesday.
Almost 100 people have been evacuated from their homes after the 20-metre crane fell at a site where flats were being constructed.
