Lord Blencathra (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 March 2025

Debate

Contribution

Yes, he denies any criminal involvement at all and denies those allegations of sexual assault. I merely quoted his words: “I will be immediately seeking professional help in order to learn from these mistakes”. He has withdrawn himself from Adjaye Associates. I have not given any credence to the women who have made the sexual allegations, and I am happy to repeat that he denies them. He has nevertheless withdrawn from his involvement with this project, and it is too late to say that it is nothing to do with David Adjaye.
