“I’m not sure Straw is the man for the job. He should resign over this.”

Mr Cressman will visit Westminster with his sister and elderly mother. They will be raising a number of issues including sentences.

He added: “Our family has suffered so much already. I’m feeling very depressed.”

Andrews, who worked for the Duchess of York for nine years until 1997, was convicted in 2001 of murder and ordered to serve a minimum of 12 years in jail.

A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: “The Justice Secretary Jack Straw has agreed to a meeting with Mr Cressman and takes the impact of crime on victims and their families very seriously.”
