The Belfast care home has previously been at the centre of abuse allegations and child trafficking to England. Lord Brittan was thrust into the limelight in July last year by questions over his handling of a dossier handed to him as home secretary in 1983 by Tory MP Geoffrey Dickens, alleging the existence of a paedophile ring at Westminster. An independent review commissioned by the Home Office in 2013 found that the department had not retained the dossier.
