Meet the man Leon Brittan handed the lost VIP paedophile dossier to

(not satire)

In 1983, when he was Home Secretary, Leon Brittan was handed a dossier by Tory MP Geoffrey Dickinson which included details of a VIP paedophile ring.

The file of course we now know then mysteriously went missing after Brittan said he “handed it to his officials” at the Home Office.

So who would those officials be?

Well, Brittan has already confirmed that his PPS (Parliamentary Private Secretary) was at the meeting where he was handed the dossier.

So this must have been the person Brittan handed the dossier to.

And who was Brittan’s PPS at the time of the meeting?

Sir Brian Cubbon.

Sir Brian – although a former high ranking civil servant – has close links to MI5 and MI6.

In this document from 1999, Sir Brian is listed as a director of an MI6 front company called Hakluyt & Company.

And Sir Brian is also the official who was responsible for giving MI5 permission to tap the phones of leading CND activists in the 1980s.

And what is the relevance of the spooks involvement in the missing dossier?

Well, this is not the first time a VIP paedophile dossier has gone missing.
