It looks as if the Metropolitan police commissioner, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, is edging towards an apology to Field Marshall Lord Bramall, 92, over unfounded allegations of child sex abuse
and that some kind of further apology is coming to the family of the late Leon Brittan. It’s too late to do him much good,
as it is to former prime minister Edward Heath, also caught up by some
wildly improbable allegations.
Monday’s report
by senior Dorset police officer James Vaughan into the Met’s handling
of the Brittan allegations shows how complicated such historical claims
can be.
