A Conservative MP and his wife's contact details have been found in Jeffrey Epstein's notorious 'little black book', according to a report by Metro.co.uk. Philip Dunne, the MP for Ludlow, has not previously been linked to the convicted paedophile, but his name appears in the document.
The book, which includes a host of famous names such as former Prime Minister Tony Blair and ex-US President Bill Clinton, contains misspelled entries for Dunne and his wife Domenica. A redacted phone number and London address are also visible. Dunne's office has not responded to repeated requests for comment.
It is unclear how Dunne's contact details came to be in the book, which was first discovered by investigative journalist Nick Bryant in 2012 and later published by the hacking group Anonymous. Dunne's name does not appear in flight logs of Epstein's private jet, known as the 'Lolita Express'. There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Dunne.
Dunne, who previously dated Princess Diana, chairs the Environmental Audit Committee and was appointed to the Privy Council in February 2019. He lost his job as a health minister in January 2018 after telling people to 'sit on seats' if there are no hospital beds available.
