Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng has said the Prime Minister's accusation that Sir Keir Starmer had failed to prosecute serial paedophile Jimmy Savile were "reasonable".

Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid both distanced themselves from the PM's claims, which also led to the resignation of a senior No 10 aide.

Mr Kwarteng told Trevor Phillips that the Labour leader had apologised in 2013 while he was director of public prosecutions.
