Baroness Butler-Sloss: a clarification

In an earlier blog entry I wrote about the non-prosecution of Sir Peter Hayman in the early 1980s, and noted that 'the whole thing stank of the suggestion that Sir Michael and Sir Tony were looking after Sir Peter'. Obviously this should in no way be taken to mean that I think Sir Michael's sister is not an absolutely appropriate person to lead an enquiry into historic cases of child abuse. Just wanted to make that clear.
