Sexual assault survivor calls failure of Travelodge boss to meet MPs ‘shocking’

Woman assaulted after man was given key card to her room criticises CEO Jo Boydell over cancelled meeting

A woman who was sexually assaulted by a man who was handed a key card to her room at a Travelodge has said she was shocked to learn the hotel chain’s boss cancelled a meeting with a group of MPs seeking to discuss concerns about the case.

More than 20 MPs had demanded the meeting this month to discuss the matter – including details of the chain’s security processes and procedures that led to it offering the victim an “insulting” £30 refund after the incident.
