First Minister to meet Children's Commissioner over child abuse inquiry calls

First minister Carwyn Jones will meet Wales' children's commissioner tomorrow (Tuesday Nov 6) after calls were made for a fresh inquiry into child abuse at North Wales care homes in the 1970s and 80s.

The First Minister began his monthly news conference today (Monday Nov 5) with a statement on the issue, urging abuse victims who felt their cases were not properly investigated to contact the police.

This follows recent claims by one of the victims that he was abused by a Conservative politician during that era.

A three-year inquiry into the abuse which spoke to 650 people was published in 2000 by Sir Ronald Waterhouse.
