Abuse Inquiry Judge Asked To Appear Before MPs

Dame Lowell Goddard has been asked to appear before MPs following her resignation as Chair of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. Justice Goddard announced she was quitting on Thursday amid reports she spent three months on holiday or abroad in her first year in the £500,000 job. The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, reassured victims of abuse that "the work of the inquiry will continue without delay and a new chair will be appointed".
