"If the images found by Reader had been made public at the time, it would have caused a massive political scandal. I can’t talk about that. But we have passed details to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse."

The images are said to have been found stashed in a safety deposit box in 1971 when the gang tunnelled into a branch of Lloyds in Baker Street, Central London, and escaped with a £3million haul. A close confidant of 76-year-old career criminal Reader said: “It was a shock for them when they found photographs of a famous politician abusing children. The Government of the time allegedly forced the press to stop reporting on the burglary as a matter of national security amid allegations raunchy photos of the late Princess Margaret were found in another safety deposit box in the vault.

Judge Goddard said : “We will conduct an objective fact-finding inquiry into allegations of abuse by people of public prominence associated with Westminster. The investigation will focus on high-profile allegations of child sexual abuse involving current or former Members of Parliament, senior civil servants, Government advisers, and members of the intelligence and security agencies." A second source, a gang member, previously told the Mirror in 2008 that child pornography was found in the vaults but did not give further details.

The tale has now been made into a film, The Bank Job
