Sir Peter Hayman

EDM number 760 in 2014-15, proposed by George Galloway on 03/02/2015.
Categorised under the topics of Civil Service, Crime and Sexual offences.

That this House condemns the deliberate cover-up of the unnatural sexual proclivities of senior civil servant Sir Peter Hayman by the then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 1980; deplores that the damning security services report into his behaviour, which stretched back to at least 1966, was kept secret on the instructions of the then Prime Minister Thatcher and has only now been revealed through media pressure; notes that Hayman was a member of the notorious Paedophile Information Exchange which preyed on children and kept voluminous and explicit records of his sexual activities and fantasies, many of them involving children, that he also posted pornography to himself in Canada, a crime which was discovered, but he allowed a junior member of staff to take the blame; and calls on the Government to posthumously strip the 1971 honour given to this deeply dishonourable man.

This motion has been signed by a total of 5 MPs.
