Child Abuse: Police Investigations

Baroness Benjamin Excerpts

Wednesday 29th October 2014 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

My Lords, Fiona Woolf stated to the Home Affairs Select Committee that she had no close association with the Brittans. I think that noble Lords would agree that it is time that we got on with this inquiry.

[Baroness Benjamin (LD)]

My Lords, can my noble friend the Minister tell the House what support is given to children who have been abused?

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

My Lords, there is a wide range of support available to children who have been abused, but in the time that I have here I will not go through it all. I will write to the noble Baroness to outline some of the detail.
