and to national newspapers in late October 2000. Hammersmith and Fulham council considered there to be “no evidence with which to base any further investigations, because the letter was anonymous, there was no specific allegation of child abuse, and obviously Father Martin was dead.” A spokesman for the Westminster diocese said: “Naturally the church is deeply concerned whenever any allegations are made against a priest and especially if there are any victims of abuse. Any allegations need to be fully investigated and the church authorities will cooperate fully.” Father Ignatius Harrison, main chaplain at the Oratory was fully aware of the investigation, stating that there had never been any concerns about Father Martin's behaviour. Hammersmith and Fulham social services, with the police, launched an investigation, which stalled due to the unclear lines of responsibility - Father Martin was chaplain at the school for four terms but was employed not by them but by the Oratory Fathers. Child protection officers attempted to establish the identity of the boy who made the complaints, only having his first name. There have been no further updates since December 2000.
