Theresa May says that Kincora Boys' Home should be investigated by a separate inquiry led by retired judge Sir Anthony Hart.

The two inquiries can act in tandem when their subject matters cross, she suggests.

Several senior Northern Irish politicians have campaigned for the east Belfast home to be included in the ongoing Westminister child sex abuse inquiry.

Labour MP Simon Danczuk, who exposed child sex abuse allegations against former Liberal MP Cyril Smith, has told BBC Radio 4's World at One programme that it is an advantage that Justice Lowell Goddard is not from the UK.

He says it is "helpful" that she is not connected to the British establishment, adding that she would have time to find her feet - predicting the inquiry would take years, rather than months.

Green MP Caroline Lucas calls for a senior police adviser to be appointed to the inquiry to act as a liaison with police and ensure the inquiry does not interfere with any ongoing police investigations

Theresa May says this will be the role Ch Con Simon Bailey will have on the inquiry.

No 10 has been reacting to reports in the newspapers that Smythson, the stationery firm that employs Samantha Cameron as a creative consultant, is owned by a firm based in Luxembourg, which is regarded as a tax haven. The issue briefly cropped up at PMQs earlier. Downing Street says it does not comment on individual firms but says the government's job is "to set out and ensure we have in place the robust, vigorously-enforced tax rules that we have".

Labour MP David Winnick suggests the new inquiry into historical child abuse should set itself a target of reporting its findings within 12 months, to prevent it lasting as long as the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq War.

Theresa May agrees that the inquiry should set itself a deadline, even if more work needs to be done after that point, but she warns it will be longer than 12 month. She agrees that she does not want it to "go on endlessly".

Theresa May confirms the new inquiry will be "an inquiry panel" that will be "informed by the voices of survivors."

She admits she cannot say there has been no Whitehall cover- up in the past. It will be for the inquiry to decide if there was a cover up, she says.

She has made it clear to the police and the security services that if they have information relevant to the inquiry they should present it, she adds.

Yvette Cooper agrees that the inquiry should be put on a statutory footing.

She also seeks clarification over whether this is a panel inquiry or an inquiry advised by a panel.

If the panel is to investigate accusations of a Whitehall paedophile ring, will the Goddard inquiry be able to look at top secret information and will the police and social services have the resources they need to deal with this, she asks.

Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper is now responding to the statement. She accuses Theresa May of overseeing "three false starts" during the 213 days since the government first announced the inquiry. "We cannot afford for this to fail again", she tells MPs.

A final word from Nick Robinson, who predicts there will now be a fully-fledged argument about "who is on what side in the business debate", and about what proper business practice is.
