The former home secretary, who died before he could answer questions at an inquiry into an alleged paedophile ring in Westminster, has been buried discreetly and his family have withheld his grave’s exact location amid fears it could be vandalised, it has been reported.

The last months of Leon Brittan’s life were dogged by claims he failed to act on a dossier describing the ring’s activities when he was in office in the 1980s.

He died last month aged 75 and was buried at Golders Green Cemetery, where staff have been told to deny knowledge of it if asked by members of the public, according to investigative journalism website Exaro.
