The widow of Lord Brittan, Lady Diana Brittan, has expressed discontent following the abrupt discontinuation of an inquiry into Steve Rodhouse, the Met Police officer overseeing a failed investigation into false child abuse allegations made against her late husband. The Independent Office for Police Conduct had initiated misconduct proceedings based on Rodhouse's conduct during Operation Midland but recently announced its decision to end the inquiry due to new evidence from the Met. Lady Brittan condemned the decision, underscoring her loss of trust in both the Met and the watchdog.
Lady Diana Brittan criticized the decision to drop the investigation into Met Police officer Steve Rodhouse, calling it a reflection of a 'complete lack of professionalism'.
She expressed that her trust in the Met and the police watchdog had been 'severely undermined' following the termination of the misconduct proceedings.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct ceased proceedings against Rodhouse, citing a 'large volume of relevant material' recently disclosed by the Met Police.
Brittan described the allegations against her late husband, Lord Brittan, as false, made by a man who ultimately was revealed as a fraudster and paedophile.
