Chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee Yvette Cooper MP has
called Dame Lowell Goddard's refusal to give oral evidence about her
resignation from the national sexual abuse inquiry "disgraceful."
Dame Lowell, 67, wrote in a letter which appeared in the media this morning, that she had volunteered detailed written reports instead of oral testimony in a bid to "maintain judicial independence."
