The Westminster Paedophile Dossier

There still remains the issue of the 'missing' VIP nonce document given to home secretary Leon Britten by Geoffrey Dickins.

And what the establishment and police knew about Cyril Smith and Greville Janner.

And why the MPs voted against immunity for whistle blowers when this VIP nonce stuff blew up.

The man known as 'Nick', whose accusations sparked the VIP paedophile investigation and who has been charged with perverting the course of justice, can today be named as Carl Beech.

The real identity of Mr Beech, a 50-year-old former NHS manager and father of one, had been shrouded in secrecy since he first came forward four years ago claiming he had been sexually abused by a group of high profile figures and leading politicians when he was a child in the 1970s and 1980s.

But he can finally be named after a legal restriction was lifted during a hearing at Newcastle Crown Court.

It can now be revealed that Mr Beech is a former governor of two schools. Born in Wrexham, his mother is a retired Church of England vicar.

After leaving school he qualified as a nurse before moving into NHS management, becoming the head of patient advice, liaison services and complaints at a large trust. He is also a fellow of the Institute of Health Management.

He married a fellow nurse in 1992 and they have one son, but the marriage broke down a number of years ago.

In 2014 Scotland Yard launched a major criminal investigation, Operation Midland, after Mr Beech came forward and told detectives he had been the victim of historic abuse.

It is alleged he falsely told police he been raped and abused for nine years by a VIP gang which included the Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath, the former Home Secretary Leon Brittan, the former head of the army, Lord Bramall, the former Tory MP, Harvey Proctor and former Labour MP Greville Janner.

As well as alleging child rape, Mr Beech told police officers at least three youngsters had been murdered at the hands of the VIP paedophile ring. But Scotland Yard's £2.5 million inquiry was closed in 2016 without any arrests being made.

A review by a retired High Court judge into the Scotland Yard investigation highlighted more than 40 mistakes by the force.

In September 2017, Northumbria Police, which had spent ten months investigating the case, passed a file to the Crown Prosecution Service which in turn charged Mr Beech with 12 counts of perverting the course of justice.

He was also charged with fraud in relation to an allegation that he profited from his allegations by making a claim to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). Mr Beech is accused of fraudulently receiving £22,000 in compensation for abuse which never took place.

Mr Beech appeared at Newcastle Crown Court accused of 12 counts of perverting the course of justice and one count of fraud. He spoke only once to answer "I am" when asked whether he was Carl Beech.

The case has now been listed for a six to eight week trial to begin at Newcastle on May 7th next year.

The Recorder of Newcastle, Judge Paul Sloan QC, lifted an order that had previously been in place banning the identity of Mr Beech. At a previous pre-trial hearing before Judge Paul Sloan, his barrister Raymond Tully said: "We anticipate the matter will be fully contested.”

His case will be back before the court on February 11th next year for one of a number of further pre-trial hearings scheduled before May.
 
A public inquiry has refused to publish evidence that could shed light on an allegation that Michael Gove intervened in a child sexual abuse investigation.

He has been accused of trying, during his time as education secretary, to find out about an investigation into a priest suspected of abusing a boy at a boarding school.

The accusation has been made by two witnesses who have testified to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA).

The environment secretary has denied the allegation, saying it was inconceivable that he would have done so. IICSA has looked at the allegation, but said there was insufficient evidence to come to a conclusion about its veracity.

The inquiry has refused a request from the Guardian to make public the evidence, such as witness statements that it had gathered about the allegation. It has published some of the evidence, but not all.

In a statement, IICSA said : “All witness statements and evidence relied upon by the panel were published on the inquiry’s website.” Asked why some witness statements were published, and others were not, the inquiry said: “Evidence which is not relevant is not used or published”.

Two lawyers representing child abuse survivors have called for Gove totestify in front of the inquiry to clear up the allegation. Tom Perry, founder of the Mandate Now pressure group, which calls for a law requiring staff in schools and elsewhere to report child abuse allegations, said the inquiry was underfunded, which restricts its ability to investigate allegations thoroughly.

IICSA, which has had a chequered history, was set up in 2014 by the then home secretary Theresa May to examine claims that a range of institutions did not protect children from sexual abuse.

It has held hearings about alleged sexual abuse in Catholic schools. One of the allegations concerned a priest, known as F65 as he has been granted anonymity, who had been accused of sexually abusing a 16-year-old boy at Downside Abbey, a leading Catholic school in Somerset.

At a public hearing in December 2017, Claire Winter, the deputy director of children’s services responsible for children’s social care at Somerset county council, told the inquiry that in 2010, F65 was under investigation. She said that F65 was to be suspended from active public ministry while the investigation continued.

Winter described an incident that she said was “very unusual” and unlike anything she had experienced. She described receiving two phone calls from the secretary of state for education and his office asking for the time at which the decision to suspend the priest was to be made. She said she refused to discuss it as it was a child protection matter.

Her testimony was backed up by Jane Dziadulewicz , the then safeguarding official for the Clifton diocese, responsible for child protection in that region. She has said she helped produce a report for Gove’s office on the progress of the Downside investigation following the calls.

In January 2018, IICSA said it was requesting more evidence about the allegation concerning Gove. In August, in a wider report into child abuse at Downside and another Catholic boarding school, IICSA said: “We take the view that there is insufficient evidence on this point from which to draw any conclusions.”

The inquiry also refused to answer questions about how many people gave evidence about the allegation concerning Gove, how many witness statements were taken, and whether these statements were circulated to victims and others taking part in the inquiry.

Winter is known to have made three statements, but the inquiry has only published one. One of Dziadulewicz’s statements has been published, but the inquiry declined to say if she gave further evidence.

In his one published witness statement, Gove said neither he nor members of his office had called Winter, adding that there are no official records of such calls.

He added: “I think it extraordinarily unlikely that I would have made such a call. I cannot conceive of the circumstances in which I would have wished to do so … The only possible explanation for Ms Winter’s evidence is that she is labouring under some kind of misunderstanding.”

Child abuse inquiry: Complaints against late Conservative MP 'not reported to police'
Inquiry into handling of allegations against Peter Morrison and others branded ‘witch hunt against dead politicians’


Allegations made about an MP’s “penchant for small boys” were passed to the security service but were not then investigated or reported to police, an inquiry has heard.

The claim concerned Peter Morrison, the Conservative MP for Chester, the wide-ranging Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) was told.

The Westminster part of the inquiry is expected to sit for three weeks and aims to address “outstanding questions of public concern” related to child abuse allegations.

Lead counsel to the inquiry Brian Altman QC said that during its work the inquiry has obtained a copy of a 1986 letter, written by then-director general of the security service Sir Antony Duff.

Mr Altman said: “The letter makes it clear that the information that Mr Morrison had ‘a penchant for small boys’ had been passed to the security service by a member of the Westminster establishment, who had heard it from two sources.
