A New Zealand judge is expected to be named as the new head of the inquiry into historical child sex abuse later.

The name of the judge has not been revealed, but Home Secretary Theresa May is due to make a statement in the House of Commons at 12:30 GMT.

Mrs May's two previous choices for chairman have resigned since the inquiry was announced in July 2014.

BBC home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds said the rest of the panel initially chosen had been "dissolved".

The inquiry, sparked by claims of paedophiles operating in Westminster in the 1980s, will investigate whether "public bodies and other non-state institutions have taken seriously their duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse in England and Wales".

Baroness Butler-Sloss, Mrs May's first choice as inquiry chair resigned a week after it was set up. She faced calls to quit because her late brother, Sir Michael Havers, was attorney general in the 1980s.

Her replacement, Lord Mayor of London Fiona Woolf, stood down on 31 October amid questions over her links to former Home Secretary Lord Brittan.
