Written StatementsI am pleased to announce that the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse has, in accordance with its terms of reference, today published its Interim Report [HC 954] . Pursuant to section 26 of the Inquiries Act 2005, I am also laying a copy of the report before the House.
The report will be published on the inquiry’s website at: https://www.iicsa.org.uk
and at: https://www.gov.uk. Copies will also be available in the Vote Office.
The interim report provides an overview of the work undertaken by the inquiry so far, together with emerging themes and recommendations.
Across Government, the interim report will be given careful and proper consideration. Discussions with business managers are currently in hand to schedule a debate to be held in Government time to enable the House to fully discuss the content.
I would like to thank Professor Jay and the panel for their continued work to uncover the truth, expose what went wrong in the past and to learn the lessons for the future.
