Downing Street says Baroness Butler-Sloss’ stepping down from the abuse inquiry was “entirely her decision”.

The reasons for her appointment still absolutely stand in terms of her professional expertise and her integrity, which I don’t think has been questioned from any quarter whatsoever, and rightly so.
