Leon Brittan, Conservative peer and former European Commissioner, was publicly named in July 2015 as being involved in the VIPaedophile Child Abuse Inquiry as a result of allegations made by fantasist Carl Beech.[1]
A year earlier, Labour MP Tom Watson named Lord Brittan as the former cabinet minister who allegedly raped a young woman – identified only as Jane – in an explosive letter to Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders, while suggesting that the police were unwilling to investigate him properly because of his status.[2]
In January 2020, on Sky News, Watson explained:
- “I was doing my very best to try and give very vulnerable people their voice in the criminal justice system.”
He said Lady Brittan had refused to accept his apology.[3]
