A FORMER Tory Foreign Office minister was cleared of any wrongdoing today following an internal investigation resulting from a baseless accusation of anti-semitism.
A complaint was made against Sir Alan Duncan, British foreign minister from 2016-19, after he appeared on LBC with Nick Ferrari in April.
During the interview, he said the Conservative Friends of Israel group had been “doing the bidding” of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “exercise undue influence at the top of government.”
