Response from North Yorkshire Police re my concerns re former Archbishop of York, David Hope

On 26th October I wrote to the Chief Constable of North Yorkshire Police asking that he consider whether the former Archbishop of York, David Hope should be investigated with respect to suspected misconduct in public office.

The suspected offence related to perceived failures by Mr. Hope with respect to child abuse by the late Robert Waddington.

"I am writing this brief letter to inform you that your allegation has been forwarded to myself to deal with. I will be in touch further once I have answers to the relevant enquiries I have raised to try and resolve the matter."

I await with interest further correspondence from Detective Superintendent Costello.
