Sir Cliff Richard: Lawyers hit out at MP's disclosures - Telegraph
"There was ample time to properly consider whether the SYP letter ought to have been released before it actually was. Mr Benaim continued: "Our client had no opportunity to comment or make submissions to the committee in advance of publication, but had he been able to do so, the damage that has since been caused by the Committee's actions and by the SYP letter would, most likely, have been avoided. "It is the committee who have acted as enablers to the media so that they could report on claims of new allegations about which our client has been given no or very little information; about which he has yet to be questioned; for which he has not been arrested; and of course, over which he has not been charged. Sir Cliff was questioned last August after information was passed to South Yorkshire Police relating to alleged incident assault on a young boy which was said to have taken place in Sheffield in 1985.

It feels like Nazi Germany," the 56-year-old singer said, calling the situation "scary," and lamenting what she described as France's lost tradition of welcoming diversity and honouring freedom.
