The Home Secretary has apologised to victims of historical child sex abuse after losing a second chair of an official inquiry.
Theresa May is outlining how she will proceed after Fiona Woolf resigned on Friday because of her links to Lord Brittan, who is accused of failing to act on abuse allegations while home secretary in the 1980s.
Mrs Woolf's predecessor, Baroness Butler-Sloss, stood down in similar circumstances in July.
The Home Secretary revealed she had yet to decide on a new chairman, but said the panel would continue to meet without a replacement - starting next Wednesday.
She told MPs: "It is obviously very disappointing and for that I want to tell survivors that I am sorry.
"I know some of you have questioned the legitimacy of this process but I am listening.
"I am as determined as you are to get to the truth.
"We have a once in a generation opportunity to do something important together. We can make sure the people who thought they were beyond the reach of the law face justice."
Mrs May also said she would meet victims next week before deciding on a new chairman.
