Liz Davies interviewed about Margaret Hodge on The World Tonight programme.
Newsnight 2003. Panton V Hodge
In 2003, Demetrious Panton, who had been a child in care in Islington, was described as ‘disturbed’ by Margaret Hodge who was then Minister for Children. She had been a councillor in Islington when the child abuse scandal was taking place. Her role in these events has been strongly criticised (see the list of print media articles on this website).
Demetrious gained a public apology, payment of his legal costs and a large donation to a charity of his choice. He later stood as a parliamentary candidate in Barking and Dagenham – Hodge’s constituency.
When Margaret Hodge made her election speech she had to stop because so many care leavers and survivors were chanting that she should not be Minister for Children. A few days later she was moved to another government department.

Liz Davies and Nora Duckett researched this account of a 14 year old girl who was sexually abused at home and also by a network of child sex abusers and she gained no protection. They both contributed to the programme by commenting throughout.
Information about the documentary is available from the BBC flyer and a guardian article: ‘There are too many Becky’s – Liz Davies finds the case of a 14-year-old sexual abuse victim, to be revealed in a BBC documentary tonight, is far from unique‘.
