May facing questions over failure to publish explosive report into missing child abuse dossier handed to Home Office in 1980s

Theresa May is facing further questions over her handling of historic allegations of child abuse this morning – after it emerged she has failed to publish a crucial report on the Home Office’s record of dealing with paedophile claims.
Mrs May has been accused of delaying the release of the report, compiled by NSPCC chief Peter Wanless, into how the Home Office dealt with a dossier of child abuse allegations delivered to former Home Secretary Leon Brittan in the 1980s.
