Michael Mansfield willing to replace Emmerson in abuse inquiry

But top barrister questions credentials of child abuse inquiry’s current chair and says ‘appalling appointments’ have been made.  Michael Mansfield QC says he is willing to replace Ben Emmerson as the top lawyer on the inquiry into institutional child abuse, but only if the inquiry is broken up.
Mansfield, a prominent barrister whom many of the survivors of child abuse have nominated to lead the process, said the inquiry had been “chaotic from beginning” and dogged by “catastrophic appointments”.
