Public inquiry whether MI5 withheld intel, child abuse by government officials
MP Cyril Smith, the horrific abuse of children residing in children's homes, and that a former PM would have been interviewed under caution. We demand MI5 be asked to declassify its archives regarding potential cover ups and complicity. Our great intelligence services owe our children the truth.

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There is already an inquiry into the failure to protect children, so we're not sure what else you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to do.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse began in 2015.
The inquiry is looking at the extent to which institutions have failed to protect children from sexual abuse. That includes whether the intelligence and/or security services were aware of but didn't try to prevent abuse. The inquiry is independent from the Government.
