Police will look at a dossier on ex-Formula One boss Max Mosley after he was accused of publishing a by-election pamphlet that said: "Coloured immigration threatens your children's health."

The campaign leaflet, which linked non-white immigrants with diseases such as tuberculosis (TB), VD and leprosy, dates back to 1961.

And it backed a candidate for his father Sir Oswald Mosley's Union Movement in a by-election in Moss Side, Manchester.

The pamphlet was discovered in historical archives in the city by the Daily Mail.

The paper said it raises questions over whether evidence Mr Mosley gave under oath in a High Court trial when he successfully sued the News of the World in 2008 was misleading.

But Mr Mosley insisted he did not recall the leaflet, and said he would not be deterred from his campaign for reforms to protect ordinary people from press abuses.

He has called for tighter press regulation since the now-defunct Sunday tabloid wrongly accused him to taking part in a "Nazi-themed sex party".

Asked in court about his political activities as a young man, Mr Mosley acknowledged he was election agent for Union Movement candidate Walter Hesketh in the by-election.

But he said it was "absolute nonsense" to suggest he had put out leaflets alleging that "coloured" immigrants brought diseases with them.

The election handout found by the Mail stated it was "published by Max Mosley", and included the warning: "Tuberculosis, VD and other terrible diseases like leprosy are on the increase. Coloured immigration threatens your children's health."

The newspaper passed a dossier on the claims to the Crown Prosecution Service, which sent it to Scotland Yard.

A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said: "This afternoon the CPS forwarded information from the Daily Mail to the Metropolitan Police. An assessment will be carried out."

And the company which published the News of the World said it was considering "all legal options" in the wake of the reporting.

News Group Newspapers said it was awaiting "with interest" the result of the police assessment.

It added: "In the meantime, we have instructed our lawyers to consider the impact of the revelations and Mr Mosley's responses on the High Court Proceedings with a view to considering all our legal options."

In a statement released on Wednesday, Mr Mosley said: "Now that I've seen copies of this leaflet, I still do not recognise it. It is not something I would have ever wished to be associated with.

"It is offensive and divisive. By contrast, I campaigned to stamp out racism in motorsport."

Earlier this week, when asked on Channel 4 News about the line: "Coloured immigration threatens your children's health," Mr Mosley said: "I think that probably is racist, I will concede that completely."

He added: "I have never been a racist. I am not a racist, never will be a racist."
