Leon Brittan and Geoffrey Dickens’ notes from 1980s released

‘Letters from the 1980s have been released, in which MP Geoffrey Dickens called for then-Home Secretary Leon Brittan to ban a pro-paedophilia group.

In 1983, The Conservative MP wrote he “would not rest” until the Paedophile Information Exchange was outlawed.

Lord Brittan wanted to see if existing laws proved adequate first.

Before his death in January this year, the Tory peer had faced questions over his handling of child abuse allegations during his time in office.’
