MPs Warn Over Influence of Freemasons

Allegations that freemasonry could have played a part in miscarriages of justice

and other major scandals cannot be ruled out, a report by MPs warned. Although it could not be proved, the report said there were a number of cases

including the so-called Stalker affair and the West Midlands Serious Crime

Squad scandal where fears of improper masonic influence may well be justified.

The cross-party Home Affairs Select Committee also called for the names of

public office holders who had refused to declare whether they were freemasons

to be published, warning the freemasons' obsessive secrecy was partly to

blame for paranoia about the secret society.
