The Home Secretary has been accused of perpetuating the cover-up of child sex abuse at Kincora Boys’ Home in east Belfast.

Theresa May yesterday announced a new four-person panel, including Professor Alexis Jay, to serve in the reformed statutory inquiry into child sex abuse in England.

Mrs May said Drusilla Sharpling, Ivor Frank and Malcolm Evans will also serve alongside Justice Lowell Goddard, a New Zealand judge.

But despite pressure from MPs and victims of the paedophile ring that operated there, she refused to add Kincora to the inquiry’s remit.
