Born1965
A senior and trusted aide of Tony Blair who was found guilty of child pornography.

Career

Lyon's main duties were arranging Prime Minister's Question Time for Tony Blair on Wednesday afternoons.[1]

Child pornography

Phillip Lyon was a senior aide at the House of Commons who was found guilty of using his home computer to collect more than 1,000 images of children, and probably also of creating child pornographic images[2].

Arrest

The BBC reported that he "was discovered by chance when an IT consultant came to repair another clerk's computer at the Commons and opened a file showing "something terribly wrong".[3][4]

Another report stated that he was arrested in April after a tip-off to the Metropolitan Police vice squad from National Crime Squad police.[2]
