A probe into alleged police corruption has been launched over claims a top aide to Margaret Thatcher escaped prosecution for indecency because of his Establishment links.

Sir Peter Morrison , the late Tory Prime Minister’s Parliamentary Private Secretary, was allegedly TWICE let off with a caution after being caught picking up men for sex in toilets.

The London Metropolitan Police are now trying to track down officers who were based at the West End Central ­police station near the loos at Piccadilly tube station where Morrison is said to have been arrested.

A person who accepts a caution admits the offence. A second offence is usually followed by a charge and prosecution.  (more...)
