Amber Rudd has said she has "complete confidence" in Alexis Jay, the chairwoman of the troubled national inquiry into historical child sexual abuse.

The home secretary initially refused to be drawn on the inquiry when ITV News approached her on the sidelines of the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham, before saying simply: "I've got complete confidence in the chairman, Alexis Jay."

Professor Jones is the fourth person to head the inquiry after the three previous chairs quit the job.

The inquiry has been best by problems, including the resignation last week of Bill Emmerson QC, the most senior lawyer working for the panel.
