Leon Brittan, ex-Home Secretary, dies

Former Home Secretary Leon Brittan has died aged 75 after a long battle with cancer, his family have said.

The former Conservative MP was home secretary in Margaret Thatcher's government from 1983 to 1985.

His family paid tribute to his "extraordinary commitment to British public life".

Lord Brittan recently faced questions over his handling of child abuse allegations during his time in office.
