WESTMINSTER and the church were warned they face investigation by the independent child abuse inquiry today.

Justice Lowell Goddard – who chairs the probe – warmed “current or senior MPs, senior civil servants, government advisors and members of the intelligence and security agencies” could all be in the firing line.

She said: “We will conduct an objective, fact finding mission into allegations of abuse by certain people of public prominence associated with Westminster.”

The Catholic and Anglican Churches were also named and councils in Lambeth, Nottinghamshire and Rochdale were told they would be examined too.

Speaking in central London the judge set out 12 different areas which will come under scrutiny.
