No evidence that MI5 or MI6 knew about abuse at east Belfast boys home, inquiry told

Security chiefs at MI5 and MI6 have told a public inquiry there is no evidence they knew about or covered up child abuse at the former Kincora Boys' Home.

The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has also rejected allegations that its staff deliberately withheld information about illegal activities at the east Belfast facility and used it as part of a propaganda operation, the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry (HIA) has heard.
