Child abuse claims: Evidence 20 key people involved There is evidence at least 20 prominent figures - including former MPs and government ministers - abused children for decades, a former child protection manager has claimed. Peter McKelvie, whose allegations led initially to a 2012 police inquiry, said a powerful elite of paedophiles carried out the worst form of abuse. The government has already announced two reviews into claims of abuse. The Home Offices top civil servant will appear before MPs later.

Permanent secretary Mark Sedwill will face questions from the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee about his departments handling of child abuse allegations made over a 20-year period.
