Yesterday, the Home Secretary Theresa May MP announced that investigations would take place into historical allegations of child abuse.
The Hansard record of Mrs. May's statement and the subsequent debate was available online here:
Today's House of Commons debates - Monday 07 July 2014
but has now been removed from that URL.
The permanent House of Commons Hansard link is not currently available.
The promised investigations potentially open up new ground but there is considerable potential for important questions not to be asked.
In addition, given that no terms of reference have been announced the credibility of those promised investigations remains uncertain.
I plan to return to those areas of potential concern in one or more future posts on the matter.
