Rejected petition Butler Sloss position as head of child abuse inquiry untenable
More details
Due to Lady Butler Sloss' close family connections to the former atty Gen, Sir Michael Havers, and his apparently clear associations with the era and subject matter under review, we the undersigned demand Lady Butler Sloss be invited by the Home Office to stand down and a cross party debate be had on the subject of the overarching child abuse inquiry and a new appointment of a completely impartial individual made.
