"The Sir Edward Heath Foundation called the report 'profoundly unsatisfactory' " [View all]
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41503143Sir Edward Heath 'would have been questioned' over abuse claims
Sir Edward Heath would have been questioned over sex abuse claims if he was alive when they came to light, police have said.
Wiltshire Police launched Operation Conifer in 2015 when the former PM was accused of historical child sex abuse.
The Conservative politician would have been interviewed under caution over seven claims, including the alleged rape of an 11-year-old, they said.
No inference of guilt should be drawn from this, police stressed.
