Corrections
David Blunkett MP
Further to the reference in the paper on 14 June to Rebekah Wade allegedly hitting her first husband, Ross Kemp, after a "drinking bout" with David Blunkett, Mr Blunkett has been in touch to correct the record: "the alleged 'drinking bout' was a cup of tea at 5.30 in the evening (with witnesses including Rupert Murdoch)... There was no 'drinking bout', I've never been involved in such a 'drinking bout' - with or without Rebekah Wade".
Inside Corrections
Bill Cash MP
Tuesday, 23 June 2009
An item in the media section on Monday 22 June headlined "Cash's classifieds" muddled up Bill Cash, the MP, and his son William, editor of Spear's Wealth Management Survey. We offer them both our apologies.
Adam Afriyie MP
Monday, 22 June 2009
In today's paper a reference to the wealth of Windsor Conservative MP Adam Afriyie was based on an email from his chief of staff, Russell Walters.
Subway
Friday, 5 June 2009
A generic image of halal meat in a shop window, supplied to us by a picture agency, was used in the paper yesterday to illustrate a story about contaminated chicken. Some readers might have identified the window as belonging to a Subway branch. Subway have asked us to clarify that there is no suggestion its outlets were among those conned into selling adulterated meat.
Amy Whitehouse
Friday, 29 May 2009
In our article 'Crucial flu drug for 50m Britons' (30 April 2009) we included a photograph of Amy Whitehouse who was suffering from the flu, without realising that consent had not been given for the photograph to be published . We wish to apologise to Amy and her family for the distress our error caused.
Jim Carr
Monday, 11 May 2009
In our article, 'Taboo-buster: the dark side of Jimmy Carr' (18 November 2008), we wrote that Jimmy Carr's mother had divorced his father seven years before her death.
Euler Hermes
Sunday, 10 May 2009
In our article, 'Credit insurer faces £1m action for failing to pay out on Woolies' (26 April 2009), we wrote that a client of Euler Hermes had 'instigated legal proceedings'. Euler Hermes have asked us to point out that no legal proceedings have been issued against them by any policy -holder arising out of the failure of Woolworths and that they always pay out on valid claims and have done so in relation to Woolworth claims.
Dr Mohamad Said Ramadan Al-Boutti
Thursday, 7 May 2009
In yesterday's article in the print edition, 'Britain's least wanted', by mistake we published a picture of D. Al-Boutti , instead of a picture of 'Safwat Hijazi, televangalist'. Dr Al-Boutti is a highly reputable Syrian Muslim scholar and of course would not appear on a banned list. We apologize to Dr Al-Boutti for our error.
Damian McBride
Wednesday, 22 April 2009
In our article 'McBride will not receive severance pay' (15 April), we said that Damian McBride, the former Gordon Brown aide who resigned after his leaked emails revealed a plan to smear senior Conservatives, had a six-figure salary. This was incorrect. He was paid just over £60,000.
Craig Bellamy
Tuesday, 7 April 2009
Our 19 January report of the West Ham v Fulham match ("Di Michele and Cole flourish in Bellamy's place") wrongly stated that Craig Bellamy had stormed out of training on 16 January. In fact, he attended training with West Ham in the normal way and made himself available for selection against Fulham. We apologise for any distress caused.
David Rowntree
Friday, 20 March 2009
On 4 March we published an article which suggested David Rowntree, the drummer with Blur, will not be heading out on the road with them if the band decides to continue working after their tour this summer. We accept that our article was incorrect and are happy to correct the position.
