Leon Brittan's widow speaks out today to attack a 'culture of cover-up' at Scotland Yard.

 

In a bombshell Mail interview, Lady Brittan breaks her silence to accuse the leaders of Britain's biggest police force of lacking a 'moral spine'.

 

She points out that no officers have been punished over the Yard's shambolic VIP paedophile inquiry. And she describes the shattering impact of police raids on her home in the aftermath of the death of her husband.

 

The former home secretary was among notable figures falsely accused of child sexual abuse and murder.

 

Lady Brittan also says Tom Watson, the former Labour deputy leader, carried out 'the most despicable thing a human being could do' by joining the accusers.

 

Her damning testimony is set to plunge Scotland Yard into its biggest crisis since the Stephen Lawrence case a quarter of a century ago. Her husband was accused by Carl Beech – aka 'Nick' – whose ludicrous allegations were deemed 'credible and true' by the Metropolitan Police.

 

The fiasco not only cost the taxpayer millions of pounds but also severely damaged the reputations of other innocent public figures, including Field Marshal Lord Bramall, Edward Heath and former Tory MP Harvey Proctor.

 

Lady Brittan decided to give her first interview on the Nick scandal to the Mail after submitting evidence about her experience of the Independent Office for Police Conduct to the Commons home affairs committee, which is investigating the watchdog. The committee is due to review the case at a hearing soon.

 

Her submission includes expert legal analysis of the watchdog's 'whitewash' report on the bungled police probe, Operation Midland.
