### Chauffeur Networks
David Smith was mentioned in a 2015 report regarding a private chauffeur company in London allegedly investigated after the 1979 disappearance of Martin Allen, the son of the personal chauffeur to the Australian High Commissioner. According to the boy's brother, it was standard practice for the high commission to supplement its regular drivers with stand-in and casual drivers from a particular chauffeur firm located just across the Thames. This chauffeur firm had, at various times, employed [[Sidney Cooke]], whose gang the "Dirty Dozen" would later be convicted and jailed for the torture and murder of three young boys in the 80s. Jimmy Savile's chauffeur, David Smith, is believed to have had links to the same car company in the late 70s.[^1]

The writer S. Dovey wrote that Jimmy Savile's chauffeur, David Smith, had links to the same car company in the late 1970s.[^1]
In October 2015, a victim of Jimmy Savile named Georgina Martin stated she was frequently driven to his home by up to five different drivers, one of whom she said she was 'pimped out' to. [^1]
