David Cameron: "There is a danger this could turn into a witch-hunt"
David Cameron has warned against public child abuse allegations turning into a "witch-hunt" against gay people.
The prime minister made his comment on ITV1's This Morning programme as he was handed a list of names circulating online as paedophiles.
Mr Cameron, who did not look at the names, said anyone with any information about paedophiles should go to the police.
He was addressing historic claims of a paedophile ring linked to No 10.
The issue was raised by Labour MP Tom Watson in the Commons a fortnight ago.
There have also since been claims by a victim that an unnamed prominent Conservative from the Thatcher era was involved in abuse in north Wales.
Presenter Philip Schofield told the prime minister that there were lots of allegations circulating online about people who might have carried out abuse.
Mr Cameron said that he had heard "all sorts of names being bandied around".
During the live interview, the presenter handed the PM a card with the names on it, saying that they were people Mr Cameron knew and asking whether he would be talking to them.
Mr Cameron replied with a warning: "There is a danger, if we're not careful, that this could turn into a sort of witch-hunt, particularly against people who are gay and I'm worried about the sort of thing you are doing right now - giving me a list of names that you've taken off the internet."
Mr Cameron said that if anyone had any information about anyone who was a paedophile "no matter how high up in British society they are - that's what the police are for".
He said that people should take any allegations they had to the police so the legal process could take place.
