"flolPlllN s0[|[nEFamous London spy site and Establishment figureslinked to a major cover-up of paedophile network

37-page file recently released

by the National Archives,

appears to support allegations

made to a TV programme thatseveral Establishment figures

were involved in a cover-up of a paedophile

network operating in Westminster. These may

or may not be the same papers handed topolice in 2013.

0ne of the victims gave an interview toAustralian current affairs programme 60Minutes and identifies an alleged member of

the network as Sir Peter Haymar, ? former

diplomat and intelligence contact man. The

programme also referenced several key

figures in the initial cover-up, including an Ml6

man, various senior politicians, civil servants

and even a prime minister.

It is alleged parties were held at the Dolphin

Square luxury apartments where as many as

59 MPs lived at one time. Another victim

identified "powerful men as abusers" and that

it took place over a period of two to threeyears. Those referenced in this respect are

believed to be dead, howevel some named in

the alleged concealment may still be alive.

Central to the allegations is a hefty 1 9B0s

investigative file which contained details of the

scandal. This was routed to then Home

Secretary Leon Brittan and passed to the

director of public prosecution. lt ended up withNew Scotland Yard detectives. Now it has

seemingly been lost or as some believe,

destroyed. The papers released by the

National Archives, though not complete, are

thought to be from the original file.

Peter Hayman appeared on the BBC'sMastermind programme

The allegations and rumours of an Establish-

ment paedophile ring in Dolphin Square are

not new. Rumours date back years, but

intensified towards the end of 2014, when a

He said that the

decision to stop

investigating

came from the"very top."

Dolphin Square

has for years

been linked tothe secret worldof espionage. lnthe late 1 920sand 1 930s,Hood House,

within the

complex, was

home and officeof Maxwell

Knight, MlS'sleading agent-

KGB spy John Vassalllived at Dolphin Square.He was recruited after a

honeytrap and black-mail operation at a partyin Moscow in the 1950s.It was the type of stingthe intelligence contact

MP Geoffrey Dickins - "knew of'ocover-up and who it involved"

victim, 'Nick', now in his 40s, decided tospeak out publicly. Just a child, Nick accusedHayman of raping him at a party. He alsoreferenced other people but for legal reasonswe can't name them. Other reports attached tothe affair are equally, if not more shocking.Nick witnessed a politician "murder a young

boy." Two other murders and the disappear-ance of a youngster are now being probed

0n the 60 Minufes investigative documentary,there is reference to a covert organisationstarted in the 1 970s called PIE (Paedophile

lnformation Exchange). One member was

allegedly Peter Henderson - who Richard Kerr- an abuse victim identified as Peter Hayman.

Hayman was caught with appalling writingsand material about children.

In the 1980s there were tentative police

probes, and Hayman allegedly told New

Scotland Yard, "if this comes out I shall eithershoot myself 0r g0 to Brazil." Nevertheless,

the corridors of Parliament were abuzz and he

was named by politician Geoffrey Dickins

using Parliamentary Privilege. Hayman wasfined for gross indecency but avoided more

serious charges. And it is at that point people

like Nick believes certain powerful figures in

the Establishment closed ranks

Speaking t0 the documentary makers, a

former New Scotland Yard detective whoinvestigated the original affaif said there wassufficient evidence to prosecute severalindividuals, including a current member of the

runner. His past too has one or two darkepisodes. At one time it was home to WilliamJoyce, better known as 'Lord Haw Haw', whobroadcast propaganda to Britain in WWll fromBerlin. After the war, the man who opened hisdiatribes with "Germany Calling..," was

executed for treason. Naval attache, \_

,,Too big a scandal..." Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was adamant Peter

Hayman should not be named or connected to the eyents at Dolphin House -

despite seeing a convincing file of his activities

blackmail - a point raised by Dickins in

Parliament. The vastly experienced diplomatic

and intelligence man had served on Britain's

delegation to NATO; by 1964 he was deputy

cornmandant to the military government in

West Berlin; in the 1970s he served as high

commissioner in Canada. He remained there

until 1g74 and then retired. By this time

Hayman had moved to 0xfordshire with his

wifi and daughter. Speaking at the time of the

scandal, Sir David Napley, Hayman's solicitor

said: "My client was not aware it would be

raised in Parliament." He went on to say thatdiplomat staffer and convicted spy John

Vassall, who was caught in a KGB

honeytrap and betrayed his country

had a flat here. Other famous

characters who made DolPhin

Square their home include Christine

Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies of the

Profumo spy scandal as well as

fascist 0swald MosleY and Nazi

sympathiser Diana Mitford.

That Hayman was linked to the

dreadful goings-on at DolPhin

Square should have been enough to

send ripples through the corridors of

M15 and Ml6. For a man with such a

background, it left him wide-open to

'The risk of politicalemba,rra,ssment to tbe

goaernment i,s ratlter grea.tertba.n tbe security danger'

Former M15 Director-GeneralSir Anthony Duff

naming him in the House of Commons was

irresponsible, adding that "you should not

name a person unless theY have been

prosecuted or his name disclosed in a Public

lnquiry. "

However; it is the darker events involving so

many well known figures, their alleged actions

and the cover-up which has provoked

anger in the media, amongst child

protection groups and elsewhere, At

first journalists and researchers were

unable to make any progress because

of a lack of evidence, but that has

now changed. And to add more

conspiracy to the affail a secret file

allegedly containing notes of the

original probe linked to the abuse was

marked for destruction. lt apparently

first surfaced in the Cabinet Office

archive on 22 January 201 5 - just 24

hours after former Home SecretarY

Leon Brittan passed away.

The National Archives file includes

numerous handwritten notes and

annotations by Margaret Thatcher

regarding the affair. Thatcher was

adamant officials should not publicly

name Sir Peter HaYman. lt also

reveals that the security services were

not initially informed about Hayman's

activities.
