Bishop pledges support to Westminster abuse inquiry

The Home Secretary has just announced its creation in the House of Commons and says it can be upgraded to a full public inquiry if needed.

It'll be made up of a panel of experts.

Theresa May says they'll have access to all the government papers, reviews and reports it needs.

The Bishop of Truro, the Rt Revd Tim Thornton, is the duty bishop in the House of Lords this week. He tells Premier it's very important to get to the bottom of what happened. 

The chief executive of the NSPCC will also lead a review into the Home Office investigation into allegations of historical child sex abuse.

Peter Wanless's review will also cover how police and prosecutors handled any information given to them. It's expected to report to the Home Secretary within 10 weeks.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
