Dame Lowell Goddard must give a full explanation of her decision to resign as chairman of the major public inquiry into child sexual abuse, a senior MP has said.
Keith Vaz, chairman of the Commons home affairs committee, said Dame Lowell, 67, had been invited to appear before MPs next month.
The judge resigned suddenly on Thursday, less than 24 hours after The Times revealed that she had been on holiday or abroad for three months of her first year as chairman of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA).
