Simon Danczuk was referring to the decision by Baroness Butler-Sloss to stand down as head of the independent inquiry.

Questions have been raised about her appointment since it was announced last Tuesday.

Elizabeth Butler-Sloss is the sister of the last Sir Michael Havers - who was the Attorney General for much of the 1980s - the period in which the claims of a cover-up have centred.

Downing Street insists the decision was hers - and there was no pressure from the government.

Last week Lady Butler-Sloss insisted that she would continue with her role as she had been asked to do it by Theresa May.
