''He is absolutely not accusing anyone of lying.'

'He realises there may be differing versions of what was said but he is adamant he did not use the words he is reported to have used.'

Well someone is lying, and I will bet anything its not Scotland Yard's Diplomatic Protection Group SO6.

Disputing what a person said, and confirming what 'you' said: is not lying: it is saying there is a difference in recollection of the actual facts. There is a difference. A person can be mistaken, they can have been unaware, they could have forgotten: none of them constitue lying - it's a difference of how each perceives/d what actually happened.
