A former deputy director of MI6 is 'key'
to allegations surrounding a VIP paedophile ring in Westminster, an MP has
claimed.
Labour MP John Mann said the late George
Kennedy Young, known as GK Young, was involved in 'dubious' political activity,
including establishing a 'private army'.
He added Mr Young, who later became
involved in right wing politics, was a 'manipulator' who controlled groups
of people within which there were paedophile rings in the 1970s or 1980s.
Mr Mann, MP for Bassetlaw, claimed he had
been handed a copy of the dossier of evidence that was given by Conservative MP
Geoffrey Dickens to then Home Secretary Leon Brittan in 1984.
The so-called 'Dickens dossier' named
several prominent paedophiles. An independent review into the Home Office's
handling of child abuse allegations failed to locate a copy of the
documents.
It reported last year that there was no
evidence to support claims of an official cover-up, but warned it was
impossible to draw firm conclusions because of shortcomings in the paper
records.
Mr Mann called for the Wanless review to
be reopened to find out what happened to the files, which he claims should have
prompted investigation.
In a Westminster Hall debate, Mr Mann said
Mr Young, who died in 1990, had been named in the first line of the
document.
