Edward Heath 'was not a sexual being', says closest female friend

One of former Prime Minister Sir TedEdward Heath's closest friends has come to his defence following the news that at least seven police forces are looking into claims that he was a paedophile. Sara Morrison, often described as his closest female friend, has endorsed the view of another friend, former Cabinet Secretary Lord Armstrong, and of Heath’s biographer Philip Ziegler, that Heath, who died in 2005, had no interest in sex.
