London - Lord Archer last night denied he had asked theatrical agent Terence Baker to commit perjury in the 1987 Monica Coghlan libel trial.
In a statement released through his solicitor Lord Archer said: "I utterly refute the suggestion that the late Mr Terence Baker committed or was asked to commit perjury on my behalf."
The statement comes after a new wave of allegations that Mr Baker admitted providing a false alibi for the Tory peer during the trial.
