The Metropolitan Police has paid £100,000 in compensation to Lord Bramall and Lady Brittan after raiding their homes during its disastrous Operation Midland child sex abuse investigation.

Lawyers for Scotland Yard agreed the settlements - which include gagging clauses - after accepting that the searches had been unjustified and should never have taken place.

But the Met is yet to agree any compensation deal with former Tory MP, Harvey Proctor, 70, who was falsely accused of rape and murder and lost his home and his job as a result.

It is thought Mr Proctor, who received a personal apology from the then Met Commissioner, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, is seeking more than £500,000 for loss of earnings and damage to his reputation.
