Margaret Thatcher made repeated attempts to get Jimmy Savile knighted - despite pleas
from concerned aides
Former Prime Minister made four attempts to appoint disgraced presenter to knighthood before
succeeding in 1990
Senior Whitehall mandarins repeatedly warned former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
against knighting Jimmy Savile because of long-standing concerns over his private life.
Previously unseen Cabinet Office papers reveal that suspicions about the DJ's "strange and
complex" personality were known at the highest level for decades.
Lady Thatcher - who invited the presenter to Chequers - made four attempts to appoint
Savile to the knighthood before eventually succeeding in the final year of office in 1990.
The veteran charity campaigner was revealed as one of Britain's most prolific sex offenders
following his death in 2011 having used his celebrity status to abuse hundreds of victims
some as young as eight years old.
Papers seen by The Sun reveal that Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson rejected calls to
award him an MBE in 1970 although he was appointed OBE the following year.
Mrs Thatcher first sought the honour for Savile in 1986. - 18 July 2013 09:46237784

Police investigating possible child abuse at the Elm Guest House in West London have submitted a file on the former minister, and the CPS is expected to come to a decision over the matter during the summer. The claims are not believed to relate to the abuse of minors at the guesthouse, and the alleged victim was over the age of consent.
The allegation follows evidence given to the Metropolitan Police's Operation Fernbridge, which is investigating claims that a well-connected paedophile ring was operating from a guesthouse in Rocks Lane, Barnes, south-west London, in the early 1980s. The inquiry has been examining hundreds of leads submitted to it after a politician claimed that a historic paedophile ring with connections to Downing Street had been in operation there. The extent, breadth and wide timeframe of the claims led police to look beyond the Elm Guest House's allegedly dark epoch and beyond the abuse of children..."
