The government has been urged by the MP for East Worthing and Shoreham to include the Anglican Church in Sussex in its inquiry into child sex abuse.

Former children’s minister Tim Loughton spoke out after the home secretary’s statement on historical allegations of child abuse in north Wales.

The MP said an inquiry should look at all institutions linked to child abuse.

Three retired priests and a church organist have been charged with sexual offences against children in Sussex.
