He became a Leicester Labour MP in the 1970 general election as a last-minute candidate, succeeding his father. He was an MP until 1997, and then elevated to the House of Lords. Never a frontbencher, Janner was particularly known for his work on Select Committees; he chaired the Select Committee on Employment for a time. He was associated with a number of Jewish organisations including the Board of Deputies of British Jews, of which he was chairman from 1978 to 1984, and was later prominent in the field of education about the Holocaust.Allegations that he had sexually abused children first emerged publicly in 1991, but Janner denied them and no action was taken. The accusations re-emerged shortly before Janner's death, and although the Crown Prosecution Service considered that there was enough evidence to merit prosecution, they decided that a prosecution would not be in the public interest as Janner had been diagnosed as suffering from dementia. This decision was overturned on review, although Janner was ruled unfit to plead. At the time of his death a trial of the facts had been scheduled for 11 April 2016, but was shelved following his death; six complainants intended to sue his estate. In a statement issued after the CPS decision in April 2015, his family said that Janner was innocent."@en }
