An earlier article on this page alleged that Sir Anthony Bailey has been “misusing” his knighthood in the United Kingdom, and that he had been involved in the awarding of “bogus knighthoods”. The article also alleged that Sir Anthony had been involved in the campaign to select Baroness Patricia Scotland as Secretary-General of the Commonwealth.
In fact, these allegations were false, and we have removed the article from publication.
We apologise unreservedly to Sir Anthony for these accusations.
