David Tombs warned the government 25 years ago



 

"A former social services official has said his warnings about the threat of a Westminster-based paedophile network were ignored because "there were too many of them over there".

"David Tombs, who ran Hereford and Worcester social services, said he warned the government after the arrest of paedophile Peter Righton in 1992. "

"Two inquiries have been launched into historical claims of child abuse. Tim Yeo MP, a junior health minister in the early 1990s, said he was "staggered" by the claims. .."

"The Government is taking the matter seriously. But this is 24-25 years later on from when I was expressing my concern."

"But Mr Yeo said he found Mr Tombs' claims "incredible".  He told the Today programme: "I think it's incredible, the idea that any remotely credible evidence had been shown to a civil servant at the Department of Health would have been ignored and received the comment that it apparently was. "

"There was no culture of child sex abuse that I was aware of either in Whitehall or in Parliament," he added. "The whole thing is extraordinary."
