Political institutions failed to respond to historical claims of child sexual abuse but there was no evidence of an organised paedophile network at Westminster, an inquiry has found.

The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse says there had been a "significant problem" of deference towards people of public prominence.

A long-awaited report into allegations criticises political parties and police for not acting on information.

A "blind eye" was turned, it says.

The report found that institutions "regularly put their own reputations or political interests before child protection".
