Chair's comments
Keith Vaz said:
“I welcome the Home Secretary’s statement to the House announcing the name of her nominee for the chair of the child abuse inquiry.
The Committee is very interested to hear from all stakeholders. We hope to also meet with survivors before the pre-appointment hearing to listen to their views and to hear from any other relevant party.
I sincerely hope that after two false starts, progress can now be made in the search for truth in respect of these horrendous crimes and also so that survivors can obtain closure.”
