LAWYERS in a child abuse inquiry over claims of an Establishment cover-up have raked in £3million before it even starts.
The fees are part of a £14.7million bill since Theresa May announced the probe in 2014 as Home Secretary.
The cost was revealed after three top lawyers became the latest key figures to quit the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.
QC Ben Emmerson, 53, on £400,000 a year, had been suspended after Professor Alexis Jay, its fourth chairman, said she was “very concerned about aspects of his leadership”.
He went two weeks after his deputy Elizabeth Prochaska left.
