Lord Brittan, the former Home Secretary, has denied being guilty of rape after
being questioned by the police over an alleged sexual offence.
It was revealed at the weekend that Lord Brittan was this year questioned
under caution over an allegation of rape dating back to 1967.
The alleged offence is said to have taken place at Lord Brittan’s London flat.
In a statement issued through his solicitors, the Conservative peer said: "It
is true that I have been questioned by the police about a serious allegation
made against me. This allegation is wholly without foundation.”
Lord Brittan, who was Home Secretary between 1983 and 1985, also defended his
handling of papers that were handed to him and which allegedly detail a
network of paedophiles operating around Westminster.
