Cops have raided Tory Lord Leon Brittan’s homes over alleged child abuse – just SIX weeks after he died.
Detectives swooped on the former Home Secretary’s properties in London and North Yorkshire, the Sunday Mirror and news investigators Exaro can reveal
And in a dramatic development officers from Operation Midland – set up to investigate historic claims of child abuse by a group of powerful men – also searched the home of 91-year-old D-Day veteran Lord Bramall, once Britain’s highest-ranking Army officer.
The four raids were carried out at dawn on Wednesday at the same time officers swooped on the home of former Tory MP Harvey Proctor , 68.
Sources say the they were signed off by a “senior figure” in the Operation Midland team.
No arrests were made and there is no indication either Mr Proctor or Baron Bramall will have to give formal statements.
