The Westminster Paedophile Dossier

A police force says laws relating to the security services prevent it from divulging information it holds on Cyril Smith.
It is understood the Liberal MP, who died in 2010, was stopped on the M1 in Northamptonshire during the 1980s.
A cold case unit is investigating claims he was released after images of child abuse were found in his car boot.
He was released after making a telephone call to an unidentified third party in London, it has been claimed.
Smith was the Liberal, then Liberal Democrat, MP for Rochdale, from 1972 to 1992.
So far, seven men have come forward to Greater Manchester Police saying they were abused by Smith, whose family maintains he had always denied claims of abuse.
Labour MP Simon Danczuk first made the claim about the M1 arrest in his book about Smith, published last year.
'Certain security bodies'
He alleged Smith was stopped on suspicion of a driving offence, but quickly released after he made the phone call.
Despite being taken into the police station, the material said to have been found in his boot disappeared, Mr Danczuk said.
A Freedom of Information Act request from the BBC asked Northamptonshire Police for "any information held by the constabulary relating to the arrest on the M1 during the 1980s" of Cyril Smith.
The constabulary said that other than a press release from March, it could "neither confirm nor deny that it holds any other information" relating to the case.
In doing so the force cited Section 23(5) of the act which concerns "information supplied by or concerning certain security bodies".
The force did not specify which branch of the security services it is referring to.
It also cited a number of other exemptions under the act, including those relating to law enforcement, personal information and investigations.
Ivan Balhatchet, assistant chief constable, said the force was committed to "complete and utter transparency" and said leads from Mr Danczuk were being "followed up".

Leicestershire Police is calling for a review of the Crown Prosecution Service's (CPS) decision not to charge ex-Labour MP Lord Janner over child abuse allegations.

The force has sent a letter to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) who said Lord Janner, 86, would not face charges because of his dementia.

The request is separate to a review that was granted under the CPS Victims' Right to Review Scheme.

Lord Janner has denied any wrongdoing.

The CPS has 14 days to respond and the force said it "reserves its right to seek a judicial review of the decision".

The letter explains why police believe the decision should be reviewed.

A review has already been granted to the alleged victims, which would look at the legal aspects of the decision not to proceed, a police spokesman said.

Greville Janner, who was Labour MP for Leicester North West and then Leicester West, was not charged despite sufficient evidence to bring a case.

Defending her decision last month, DPP Alison Saunders told the BBC that Lord Janner's dementia was so severe that he could "play no part in a trial".

More than a dozen individuals have made allegations to police relating to Lord Janner.

The allegations relate to residents in children's homes in Leicestershire in the 1970s and 1980s.

Leon Brittan among senior Westminster figures named in new child abuse files

Government papers about the former home secretary Leon Brittan are among a fresh batch of documents which have come to light months after the conclusion of an official review into whether allegations of child abuse were covered up by the Home Office in the 1980s.

The documents also reveal that the then director general of MI5 corresponded with the Cabinet Secretary in 1986 about an unnamed MP who was alleged to have “a penchant for small boys” but accepted the politican’s word that he did not.

The letter from Sir Anthony Duff to Sir Robert Armstrong added: “At the present stage ... the risks of political embarrassment to the government is rather greater than the security danger.”

Making it clear that they are “concerned and disappointed” about not being told earlier about the documents, the authors of a report earlier this year into allegations historical child abuse by powerful figures, have cited the letter as a “striking example” of how crimes against children were not considered as seriously as they would today.

“The risk to children is not considered at all,” Peter Wanless, chief executive of the NSPCC, and barrister Richard Whittam, said in a supplement to their review, published online on Wednesday.

The Home Office said a fresh search of the archives had been carried out after a file emerged earlier this year that should have been submitted to Wanless and Whittam.

Previously unreleased files also concern figures including Margaret Thatcher’s parliamentary private secretary, the late Sir Peter Morrison, former diplomat Sir Peter Hayman and former minister Sir William van Straubenzee.

The papers pertaining to Brittan, which are among a number shown to police, are contained in a store of Cabinet Office papers at the National Archives, known as “the cabinet secretary’s miscellaneous papers” and will be passed to an ongoing independent inquiry into child abuse within state and non-state institutions led by Justice Lowell Goddard. The papers are described by the Cabinet Office as largely uncatalogued and unregistered, and were accumulated over several decades up to 2007. No further details have so far been revealed.

Wanless and Whittam called for a broader search of material at government departments after the Cabinet Office and Home Office informed them that further relevant material had been found.

The papers also contain material on allegations by a former British army intelligence agent, Colin Wallace, about the Kincora boys’ home in Northern Ireland, which has long been at the centre of abuse claims.

The Wanless review, published in November after the investigation of 114 missing Home Office files, could not rule out the possibility of files being destroyed as part of a coverup of child abuse allegations in the 1980s. But the inquiry concluded that record-keeping practices at the time meant it was not possible to reach a categorical decision either way.

In a joint letter written in June, Wanless and Whittam said the discovery illustrated the merit of a wide-ranging search “unconstrained by what the Home Office in particular might or might not have known, with departments paying particular attention to relevant material that is not registered. We anticipate that the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse chaired by Justice Goddard would expect no less”.

They revealed that the Cabinet Office permanent secretary, Richard Heaton, wrote to Wanless in May apologising for a “flaw in the way the Cabinet Office initially responded” to their request for documents, and confirming that three categories of papers have since been identified as potentially relevant.

“We are concerned and disappointed that the Cabinet Office was aware of the separate Cabinet Office store of assorted and unstructured papers, yet informed us that the searches covered all records and files held,” the note said.



The recently unearthed material does not suggest that documents relating to Sir Peter Hayman, a senior diplomat linked to a paedophile scandal, had been destroyed, the co-authors said. However, they added: “That said, it is essential that the public have confidence in the searches that were undertaken, not least because we had to rely on the efficiency and integrity of those who sought material on our behalf. The emergence of these papers only after our review had completed is not helpful in that regard.”

It has also emerged that the Home Office failed to review unregistered government documents held at the National Archives for the Wanless review. They were only searched later following a request from MP John Hemming and a national newspaper.

“Whilst it is important that these files have been identified, as they tell outside our terms of reference, it is not for us to examine them now. Their discovery reflects the known restricted nature of our review,” the co-authors said, adding that “a broader search of material” should now be undertaken.

In a written ministerial statement, May said: “The supplementary report concludes that the discovery of these papers shows the need for all departments to be able to search material both on and off record managements systems. This is particularly important given that the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse will be asking for departments to produce relevant documents in the near future.

“I have been clear that it is vital that the whole of government fully cooperates with the inquiry on its important work and ensures that departments have the systems and processes in place in order to do so.”

So documents that didn't exist or couldn't be found suddenly appear once Brittan is dead and are passed to the abuse enquiry that isn't expected to release its findings until 2020 at the earliest.

A date flexible enough no doubt to allow a load more to die before they get named and shamed.

Its fucking disgusting it really is and its a complete and utter whitewash.

A country and a media more bothered about single mums claiming £50 a week than our politicians molesting/raping and even murdering our kids!
