Cyril Smith: Police ‘found stash of child sex abuse videos in MP’s car but did nothing’

‘Police are investigating claims that police found a stash of child sex abuse videos in the car of the late Cyril Smith MP but took no action.

He was arrested on the M1 in Northamptonshire in the 1980s but released minutes later after making a phone call to someone in London, according to claims made in a book about the former Rochdale MP who police now believe was a prolific abuser of children.
