Bayrou, who served as France's education minister between 1993 and 1997, has denied any wrong-doing and denounced what he calls a campaign of "destruction" against him.
French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou on Wednesday faces one of the most delicate moments of his five months in office as he responds to questions from a parliamentary committee investigating claims of sexual abuse at a Catholic school.
Bayrou has faced accusations from the opposition that as education minister in the mid-1990s he knew of widespread physical and sexual abuse at the Notre-Dame de Betharram school in southwestern France over many decades.
The 73-year-old politician, who served as France's education minister between 1993 and 1997, has denied any wrong-doing and denounced what he calls a campaign of "destruction" against him.
Speaking on Saturday, he said his appearance before the committee would give him an "opportunity to prove that all this was false".
