Cardinal Vincent Nichols of Westminster is to give live evidence to Britain’s Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.
The hearing in November will examine the cardinal’s former Archdiocese of Birmingham, where he served as archbishop from 2000 to 2009. Bernard Longley, the current archbishop, will also give evidence at a later date.
The inquiry, which is investigating how various institutions in Britain handled sex abuse claims, will turn its attention to the Archdiocese of Birmingham next week.
