The mother of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence is meeting the home secretary to discuss claims an undercover police officer was asked to smear her family.
Theresa May has already said that two existing inquiries will look into the allegations.
But Doreen Lawrence is expected to call for a separate full public inquiry.
Ex-police officer Peter Francis has said that, after Stephen's killing, he posed as an anti-racism campaigner in a hunt for "disinformation".
Stephen, who was black, was 18 when he was stabbed to death by a gang of white youths in an unprovoked attack as he waited at a bus stop in south-east London in April 1993.
A number of suspects were identified but it took more than 18 years to bring his killers to justice. An inquiry accused the police of institutional racism and found failings in how they had investigated the crime.
Mr Francis has told the Guardian and Channel 4's Dispatches programme that, working as part of the Metropolitan Police's Special Demonstration Squad (SDS), he was pressured to find "any intelligence that could have smeared the campaign".
That included whether any of the family were political activists, involved in demonstrations or drug dealers, he said.
