The review into the shelved Newsnight report into Jimmy Savile's abuse is to take about a month longer than expected.

The need to conduct further interviews, examine documents and prepare the report will mean it is not expected to be delivered until mid-December.

Former Sky News boss Nick Pollard, who is chairing the review, said it was making "good progress".
