Two whistle-blowers who had information about MPs' involvement in a paedophile ring could have been murdered, according to a Labour MP who has handed a dossier of evidence to Scotland Yard.
Speaking to Sky News, John Mann claims he has evidence relating to the suspicious deaths of two men – a former Lambeth council official named Bulick Forsythe, and a caretaker whose name he did not disclose.
He said the police were already aware of the potential link between one of the deaths and the child sex abuse ring, which involved "highly influential" politicians during the 1970s and 1980s.
Although Mr Mann has now handed the information to the Metropolitan Police, he has been aware of it since the 1980s and 1990s, when he said the police declined to fully investigate.
"Bulick Forsythe had significant information in relation to child abuse. The second was a caretaker who said he had tapes relating to sex parties that were taking place," he added. "Mr Forsythe went to the police at the time and got nowhere. What I want to see is both those suspicious deaths reinvestigated."
His dossier includes 22 names of MPs he believes were involved in paedophile rings in north Wales, Lambeth, Dolphin Square in London, Rochdale, and one other location which he declined to name for legal reasons.
The MPs named include 14 Conservatives, five Labour politicians and three from other parties. Of them, 13 are former ministers.
Mr Mann told Sky News that he has given the police enough evidence on some of the suspects that he would expect the police to act "soon".
"I am confident there will be people arrested," said Mr Mann. "In some cases I'd be surprised if it didn't happen soon."
The prospect of arrests for child abuse by MPs is likely to intensify calls for an inquiry into the historical allegations.
Home Secretary Theresa May has been dogged by setbacks after two successive chairs were forced to resign over their links to establishment figures in positions of power at the time.
Mrs May said last week that the inquiry should have the powers of a statutory inquiry in order to compel witnesses to give evidence but members of the panel are reported to be "devastated" that the existing inquiry, which has started preliminary work, is to be disbanded.
Scotland Yard detectives were already investigating "credible" claims that the murders of three young boys - aged between seven and 16 - were linked to high-profile abusers, including MPs. One victim was allegedly run over by a car.
Last Thursday, a fresh appeal was launched for further victims of historical abuse at the Dolphin Square estate, in southwest London, to come forward.
Children were allegedly taken to sex parties at the plush property, which was popular with politicians.
