Denise Riley

Denise Riley MP was the Home Secretary in the British government during the 456 incident.

Biography
Denise was a mother with at least two children. She also had a brother who had at least two children of his own. Denise attended a meeting of COBRA to discuss the 456 incident and their demand for 10% of Britain's children.

Denise managed to keep her own children out of selection, but was unable to keep her nieces and nephews safe. She suggested to Prime Minister Brian Green that they should select the bottom 10% achievers of the schools and give them to the 456. Believing that those who worked harder would staff the hospitals, offices and factories of the future and those who graduate would be the leaders of the future, Riley said that the bottom 10% would simply drain the country with benefits and fill up prisons. Denise's future in the government is not known, but she suggested that she would take over position as Prime Minister from Brian Green. (TW: Children of Earth: Day Five)

For at least a while, however, she remained Home Secretary as she was still in the position when the Enochian-possessed trees attacked Greenwich Park. (IDW: Don't Step on the Grass)
