A potential link between disgraced TV star Jimmy Savile and a former Catholic orphanage at the centre of abuse claims has been raised in a letter from an MP to Bedfordshire’s Chief Constable.
Cabinet minister Justine Greening has written to Collette Paul over concerns raised by constituent Gordon McIntosh.
Mr McIntosh is a spokesman for a group of former residents of St Francis Boys’ Home in Shefford, who allege abuse.
It has been reported Savile was seen nearby and may have visited the home.
Bedfordshire Police said it could not comment on the ongoing inquiry but a spokeswoman added that any new information would be looked at by officers.
