Halford claims home and office phones tapped: Correction: Gerry Gillman

In a report in yesterday's Independent, it was incorrectly reported that Gerry Gillman, a former member of the Police Complaints Authority, was dismissed by the Home Office after the disclosure of telephone conversations with Alison Halford, the assistant chief constable of Merseyside. We have been asked to make it clear that he resigned from the authority for personal reasons.
