Ex-civil service mandarin Sir Kenneth Stowe was an aide to cabinet minister Sir Norman Fowler.

He says that in 1982, "There were mutterings and chuntering about the type of man Savile really was...

"It was known he was an immoral man and not a nice man.

"He travelled all over the country and young girls would flock to him. It was known he would take advantage of them."

SHEFFORD BOYS HOME: Mystery of the missing police files and ...-17 Jul 2013

Former residents of St Francis Boys Home in Shefford, which was run by the Catholic Church, claim they were both physically and sexually assaulted at the home

Boys who ran away from the home were taken back by police officers, and subsequently received even greater punishment and abuse.

Damian Chittock says: "It seems to me incredible that two files concerning very damning allegations can go missing. I worry about how seriously the police are taking these matters, which have blighted people's lives for decades.”
