An MP has stepped in to help former residents of a Catholic boys home who claim they were physically and sexually abused.

Justine Greening is also to ask the police about a potential link between the home and Jimmy Savile, which has been demonstrated.

Police have been investigating the claims, concerning St Francis Boys Home in Shefford, for more than 12 months.

It is the third time they have investigated the home.

Paperwork for the first two investigations, in 1998 and 2003, originally went missing but were subsequently found.
