An inquiry into child sexual abuse is going to investigate ‘certain people of public prominence associated with Westminster’.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse is also going to look into clergy members from Anglican and Catholic churches, children’s homes, and councils in Lambeth, Nottinghamshire and Rochdale.
Justice Lowell Goddard, who is heading the investigation, set out 12 different areas that will be scrutinised.
‘The investigation will focus on high-profile allegations of child sexual abuse involving current or former members of parliament, senior civil servants, government advisers and members of intelligence and security agencies.
‘It will consider allegations of cover up and conspiracy and review the adequacy of law enforcement responses to these allegations.’
