Lord Brittan was falsely accused of being part of a paedophile ring in Westminster .

Claims of sex abuse against him were false and made up by a man called Carl Beech .

Beech was jailed for 12 counts of perverting the course of justice, one of fraud, as well as several child sexual offences.

Lady Diana Brittan said the misconduct proceedings against officer Steve Rodhouse had been "quietly dropped" She said her trust in the Met and police watchdog that led the investigation had been undermined.

She said she wants there to be action taken to prevent what happened to her husband happening to other people.

"I feel that it would have at least put a closure, to use that odd word, on the whole episode if somebody had been held to account, either for misconduct, or even for incompetence," she said.
