SCOTLAND

Scotland’s national child abuse inquiry is due to stage its first public hearing.
Chairwoman Lady Smith will provide an update on the inquiry’s current investigations during a preliminary hearing in Edinburgh.
She will also set out how individuals and interested parties can participate in the process, and outline the different ways the inquiry is gathering evidence.
The session, at Parliament House in the Old Town, will deal only with procedural matters so no witnesses will be called.
The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry is looking at historical allegations of the abuse of children in care and is currently taking evidence from people who were abused.
