It was claimed that while Brown was prime minister, police officers were told not to intervene because child victims of the gangs had made a "lifestyle choice".

A spokesman for Brown - who served as MP for Dunfermline East then Kirkarldy and and Cowdenbeath from 1983 to 2015 - said it was a "complete fabrication" to suggest Brown was responsible.

"There is no basis for such allegations at all," he said.

"There is no foundation whatsoever for alleging that Mr Brown sent, approved or was in any way involved with issuing a circular or statement to the police because it did not happen.
