04^th November 2016, London – Baroness Scotland is due to deliver Transparency International UK's annual anti-corruption lecture on December 8th.  Responding to recent allegations about Baroness Scotland, Robert Barrington, Executive Director of Transparency International UK said:

 “We worked closely with The Commonwealth Secretariat, under Baroness Scotland’s leadership, during the London Anti-Corruption Summit in May, successfully bringing together hundreds of participants from all over the world to tackle the global menace of corruption. We are aware that since then a number of allegations have been made against Baroness Scotland and our Annual Lecture will provide the ideal opportunity for her to respond directly to those claims, as well as allowing members of the public and press to raise any questions they may wish to ask.”
