Ellis view due

Convicted childcare worker Peter Ellis is due to find out today whether there is political support for a government inquiry into his case.

After two years of behind-closed-doors deliberation, the justice and electoral select committee chaired by Christchurch Central MP Tim Barnett is ready to make its recommendations on whether a government inquiry is warranted into Ellis' convictions for sexually abusing children in his care.

Ellis was convicted in 1993 of sexually molesting children at the Christchurch Civic Creche where he worked.
