Labour has said there is “no choice” but to restart the inquiry into historical child sex abuse, with a new chair and statutory powers.
Shadow home secretary Ms Cooper said that after six months the inquiry still had no chair, powers or clarity.
Raising the matter in the Commons, she warned that survivors of abuse “are being let down”.
Home Secretary Theresa May told MPs she would announce the new chair and powers for the inquiry at the end of January.
Mrs May also said a file found in the National Archives containing allegations of “unnatural sexual” behaviour at Westminster was being looked into.
