Fiona Woolf faces resignation calls as she publishes details of dinner parties and coffee meetings with Lord Brittan and his wife
The head of the official inquiry into historic child sex abuse is facing calls for her resignation after she revealed details of dinner parties and other links with a Tory grandee at the centre of the scandal.
Fiona Woolf published details about her personal contact with Lord Brittan, who as Leon Brittan who was in charge of the Home Office in the 1980s.
It has been claimed that Lord Brittan was handed a file – now missing – in late 1983 which allegedly detailed child abuse at the highest levels of Westminster.
Mrs Woolf, the Lord Mayor of London and former president of the Law Society, published a four page letter to Theresa May, the Home Secretary, detailing how she had lived in the same London road as Lord Brittan and his wife since 2004.
She invited the couple to a dinner party at her home in 2008, with at least four other people, and the Brittans also attended dinner parties on two other occasions.
