Should Parliamentarians report historical abuse allegations to the police?

The brother of the former Home Secretary, Leon Brittan, has called for an apology from Labour's deputy leader, Tom Watson, for making what he described as "unfounded accusations" about an historical allegation of rape.

Lord Brittan died earlier this year, without knowing that Scotland Yard had decided he had no case to answer about claims that he'd raped a student in 1967.

Jo Coburn speaks to the Conservative MP Alec Shelbrooke.
