Guardian mostly apologises to Jo Swinson

By | Wed 27th May 2009 - 9:57 am

From today’s Corrections and Clarifications column in the Guardian:

A further correction to our graphic surveying the expenses of certain MPs: In the category Cheapest claims, we stated without qualification that cosmetics were included in receipts submitted by Jo Swinson, Liberal Democrat MP for East Dunbartonshire (23 May, page 6). Jo Swinson has denied claiming for these makeup items, telling the Telegraph, which originally reproduced one of her receipts, that the cosmetics appeared on a Boots receipt for other items she was claiming.

(More on this story in James Graham’s weekend post – including his request that you send an email.)
