Theresa May admits she did know about child sex abuse inquiry concerns

Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May has admitted she had heard concerns over the leadership of the country's troubled child sex abuse inquiry but did not act. 

The British leader told MPs in Parliament that she knew about the worries of some staff regarding former inquiry chair Dame Lowell Goddard, before she resigned the post in August. 

Dame Lowell became the third person to resign as chair from the wide-ranging inquiry into historic child sex abuse allegations.   

 Mrs May, who was then Home Secretary, said concerns about the New Zealand judge had been raised in confidence and so she was therefore unable to take official action.
