Scoop Link: The MP & The Schoolgirls In Nighties
Ian Wishart reports in Investigate Magazine: "Former pupils of Labour cabinet minister David Benson-Pope have told
police he made 14 year old girls strip down to underwear and nighties and stand in the cold while he watched for up to
an hour.
"The latest issue of Investigate magazine contains never-before-published detail of other incidents involving the Labour
MP, as part of a battle by Investigate to gain access to some still-confidential police files on the Benson-Pope case."
