Dame Butler-Sloss abuse inquiry comments spark anger

Baroness Butler-Sloss has cautioned against giving victims too much influence over who runs the planned inquiry into historical child abuse.

The retired judge, who stepped down as head of the public inquiry, said there could be "real problems" if they were to decide who is its eventual chair, but her comments have angered some victims' groups.

Anti-abuse campaigner Phil Frampton said that he was "appalled" at the idea that "victims can't take a rational view".
