Main article: Westminster paedophile dossier

In October , Hayman left a package of paedophilia-related material on a London bus.

The police traced the package and discovered that Hayman, under the pseudonym "Peter Henderson", had used an apartment in Bayswater, London, to conduct obscene correspondence. In the apartment, police start 45 diaries describing six years of "sexual fantasies" concerning children and activities with prostitutes, articles of female clothing and obscene literature.

He was investigated by police but released without ask for after being given a warning not to send obscene material through the post.^[11][12]

In November , Private Eye magazine revealed this event.^[8] In , using parliamentary privilege, MP Geoffrey Dickens asked why Hayman had not been prosecuted,^[13][14] with Dickens saying: "How did such a potential blackmail risk come to hold highly sensitive posts at the MOD and NATO?" He also asked the Leader of the Home of Commons to "investigate the security implications of diaries launch in the diplomat's London level which contained accounts of sexual exploits".^[15] In , the Attorney GeneralSir Michael Havers replied, "I am in agreement with the Director of Public Prosecutions' (Sir Thomas Chalmers Hetherington QC) counsel not to prosecute Sir Peter Hayman and the other persons with whom he had carried on an obscene correspondence"^[16] adding that, while Hayman had been found to have received pornographic material through the post, it was not of an highest nature, was non-commercial and in a sealed envelope, so did not warrant prosecution.^[17] There was much debate and condemnation in the international press of these events.^[18]

Havers said in parliament that, while Hayman was a member of the Paedophile Information Exchange, he was never a member of the executive committee, so was not prosecuted as others were for publishing contact advertisements.^[19][20] In , Hayman was convicted and fined for an execute of gross indecency with another adult in a public lavatory.^[1][13][21] The Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, warned Hayman that, should he be known to repeat the offence, he would be stripped of his honours.^[21]

On 29 November , Dickens complained in the House of Commons that he had suffered harassment following his naming of Hayman.

"The noose around my neck grew tighter after I named a former high-flying British diplomat on the Floor of the House. Honourable Members will understand that where big money is involved and as important names came into my possession so the threats began.

First, I received threatening telephone calls followed by two burglaries at my London place.

Biography.

Then, more seriously, my name appeared on a multi-killer's hit list."^[22]

On 30 January , it was revealed that a file was found in the National Archives titled "SECURITY. Sir Peter Hayman: allegations against former public official of unnatural sexual proclivities; security aspects".^[23] The file is dated from October to March ^[24] One document within the file related to the briefing given to then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher concerning Hayman's sexual fantasies associated to children.

The document also stated that there was no evidence these fantasies had been carried out. A further document outlined the official reaction and response to be made by government ministers if questioned about his arrest. A different document states that Hayman was vulnerable to blackmail by foreign powers because of his "sexual perversion", but foreign security services were not yet aware.^[23]
