David Cameron personally orders Tories to open Whips ‘dirt books’ to child abuse investigators
‘David Cameron has agreed to throw open the records of Conservatives whips’ office and Tory central office to let investigators hunt for evidence of historic child abuse, The Telegraph can disclose.
The Tory leader and Prime Minister has personally written to Theresa May, the Home Secretary, to make clear that both the whips and Tory headquarters had to “co-operate fully” with the Home Office’s inquiry into child sexual abuse, which is still seeking a chairman.
This will mean that party’s infamous “dirt books”, in which whips recorded the indiscretions by MPs to help to keep them in check in Parliament, will be scrutinised by Home Office officials.’
