How can victims expect this inquiry to uncover child abuse when it has faced multiple setbacks

14 Oct 2016
Diane Abbott MP, Labour’s Shadow Home Secretary, speaking in response to allegations made by The Times around the failings of the Goddard Inquiry, said:
“Theresa May and the Home Office have serious questions to answer.  This inquiry has a lot of ground to cover, but it is already on its fourth chair and now there are suggestions that Home Office officials turned a blind eye to allegations of impropriety.
“How can the victims expect this inquiry to uncover child abuse when it has faced multiple setbacks of its own?
“After years of waiting for justice they deserve better. It is crucial that this inquiry gets on with its vital task.”
