Victims of historic child abuse to demand answers over independence of child abuse inquiry

Victims of historic child abuse are to demand answers about the independence of a public inquiry into the problem, at a showdown meeting with Deputy First Minister John Swinney.
Alan Draper, spokesman for In Care Abuse Survivors Scotland (INCAS), said Mr Swinney would need to answer questions about the allegations made by both Professor Michael Lamb, who quit the inquiry panel last week, and Susan O'Brien QC, who left while under investigation for allegedly holding views 'incompatible' with the post of chair of the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry.
