These matters have been under investigation since 2005. As I said during the hearing, I accept that my use of the work of some authors lacked adequate acknowledgement. I have apologised repeatedly for this during the hearing, and I apologise for this now. I am saddened that this occurred while I was seeking to promote the work of academics to the wider public.

What I should have done is be clearer about attribution and clear about quotations and I accept that. I accept that what I did was wrong and I would write this very differently today.
