Apology

On 8 June 2008 we published an article which included the allegation that Craig Conway, husband of actress Jill Halfpenny, had failed to make any payments to the Child Support Agency for his daughter Bronwen.
In fact, Mr Conway has, since being contacted by the CSA in 2007, made the required payments for his daughter. The payments had not been received by Bronwen’s mother, Debbie Jones, due to an administrative error by the CSA.
We are happy to set the record the straight and apologise to Craig Conway and to Jill Halfpenny for any distress our article may have caused.

ON 10 February 2008 we published an article “Tory MP in Exes Storm” which alleged that Mark Pritchard MP faced calls for an investigation over claims that his wife was on the parliamentary payroll whilst working as an air stewardess. We now accept this allegation was false.
Mrs Pritchard does not work as an air stewardess and is openly and legitimately employed as Mr Pritchard’s office manager in Westminster.
In the circumstances any investigation would be unfounded and none has been called for or is being undertaken by the Parliamentary authorities.
We apologise to Mark Pritchard and his wife for any embarrassment caused by the article.

ON March 12, 2006 we published an apology retracting our publication of false claims by Sally Anderson that amongst other things she had had sex with David Blunkett and that when he was told she was pregnant he abandoned her.
We also undertook not to repeat those untrue allegations.

In contradiction of this in an article published on September 23, 2007 entitled ‘X-Rated Video’ we mistakenly and wrongly stated that David Blunkett’s latest mistress was Sally Anderson. Sally Anderson is not and has never been David Blunkett’s mistress.

We apologise to David Blunkett for the distress caused by the publication of this untrue and hurtful allegation and have agreed to pay him damages and his legal costs.
