Four more files relating to historical child sex abuse have been unearthed in the Whitehall archives, the Cabinet Office has disclosed.
The documents were discovered in a special archive – known colloquially in Whitehall as the ”cabinet secretaries’ files” – containing ”sensitive, historic papers”.
Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude said the files would now be made available to the newly reconstituted inquiry in to historical child sex abuse as well as to the Metropolitan Police and other relevant government departments.
The disclosure comes after it emerged last month that the Cabinet Office was holding a secret dossier from the 1980s relating to the paedophile activities of the late diplomat Sir Peter Hayman.
