According to this report in the Observer, the cover-up of previous paedophile investigations may have more overt than at first we realised. Apparently "D " Notices were issued to the Surrey Comet, to stop it reporting on the goings on at the Elm Guest House.

For those not familiar with "D " Notices, these are issued "to protect national security" here is the Wiki entry :::

No mention of names just a link to a site with information on Elm Tree
You will just have to do your own Googling

Not sure the D Norice on Elm Guest House is news to anyone who has followed the case. Here is a pist of mine from earlier this year...

// The Elm Guest house list contained many serving MPs, mostly from the Government, but also Sinn Fein, Labour and Liberal ones. It contained Cabinet Ministers, Palace officials, and MI5 officers. I am sure a D Notice would be used in that instance.
The Notice would prevent any story on the celebs because that would reveal the people protected by the D Notice (if it exists).

D. Notices were not legally binding and editors can break them such as Rushbriger over Edward Snoewdon. However, editors that comply with them tend to get Honours and other priviledges.
