Wakefield Labour MP Mary Creagh, who has been supporting the family, said she has spoken to the children's parents, Neil Shepherd and Sharon Wood, and they believe this latest move is all about the firm and not them.

Ms Creagh said: "Their feeling is that this once more is not about them, it's about Thomas Cook.

"Thomas Cook have not contacted them about this."

Ms Creagh said the family have a particular children's charity they have been supporting and to which relatives and friends have been donating in Bobby and Christi's memory.
