A LEADING academic has criticised Scottish Government "interference" as he resigned from an historic child abuse inquiry.
Professor Michael Lamb said he was stepping down "with deep regret" from the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry, where he was a panel member, saying that it had "become increasingly clear over the last nine months that the Panel cannot act independently" and that the Scottish Government "intends to continue interfering in ways large and small, directly and indirectly".
