NEWPORT MP Paul Flynn has called for a secret report into police corruption to be published on the anniversary of the unsolved murder of a Welsh private detective.

Speaking in Parliament on Thursday, March 3, the long-serving Labour MP said he had seen a copy of the Metropolitan Police’s internal Tiberius report into alleged corruption within the force, and called for it to be released publicly on the 29th anniversary of the murder of Daniel Morgan.

Mr Morgan, who grew up in Cwmbran, and had allegedly been investigating claims of police corruption when he was found with an axe in his head in the car park of a south London pub on March 10 1987. It has been claimed corruption within the police has prevented his killer from being convicted.

The Labour MP said the report was “the most deeply shocking document I have read in my life”.

Addressing justice secretary Chris Grayling he said: “Will the government publish it — perhaps next Thursday — so that the whole country can understand the breadth and depth of police corruption in this city?”

Mr Grayling replied “I will ensure that the Home Secretary is aware of the honourable gentleman’s concerns. I am not aware of the detail of the report, but I will make sure that she responds to his request.”

Mr Flynn also wrote about the case on his personal blog last week, claiming he had been allowed to read the report only under the supervision of a police officer.

In 2014 The Independent newspaper reported it had been leaked a copy of the report, in 2014, which reported it said more than 40 serving officers had helped criminals evade justice.

The Metropolitan Police has previously said releasing the report would compromise operations and tactics used by officers.
