Lord Janner claim investigated by Police Scotland

‘Police in Scotland are understood to be investigating claims Labour peer Lord Janner abused a boy there in the 1970s.

Det Ch Supt Lesley Boal said Police Scotland officers were investigating a historical complaint – but did not confirm a name.

Lord Janner was accused of abuse allegations during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s – but was deemed unfit to stand trial in England because of dementia.

The former MP has consistently denied all allegations against him.’
