MP child abuse inquiry: 'Misplaced priorities' criticised

The author of a Home Office Review criticises the government for having "misplaced priorities" when child abuse allegations were made against MPs in the 1980s.

Peter Wanless said people in government and MI5 at the time were more concerned about national security and reputations than crimes against children.

The Cabinet Office recently disclosed that it had found more documents relating to the allegations.

Daniel Sandford reports.
