Labour has said it would include the sexual abuse of boys in the notorious Kincora home in a UK-wide inquiry if it wins the General Election.

A former Army intelligence officer has claimed spy chiefs ordered him to “stop digging” when he reported a possible paedophile ring at the Northern Ireland children’s home.

Last July, Home Secretary Theresa May announced a major public investigation into whether paedophiles were sheltered in government, the NHS, police, the courts and the BBC. Kincora was excluded.

Shadow Northern Ireland secretary Ivan Lewis said: “It is vital that we support the survivors, ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice and ensure this never happens again in our country.”
