Charity to challenge Ted report

- By Dan Warburton

A PROBE into claims of child rape by Sir Ted Heath is facing a “substantia­l complaint” from supporters.

The ex PM, who died in 2005, has been under investigat­ion after allegation­s of abuse in the 1960s.

Lord Hunt of Wirral, chairman of The Sir Edward Heath Charitable Foundation, said the inquiry was “deeply flawed”.

Wiltshire Police said this week Sir Edward would have faced questionin­g over an attack on a boy of 11 if the politician was still alive.

Vowing to complain to the Independen­t Police Complaints Commission, Lord Hunt said: “Sir Edward’s reputation has been unfairly tarnished.

“No living person would be subject to a trawl for accusation­s with no independen­t review of ‘evidence’.”
