In “What Tony did next” (News Review, December 20) we referred to the allegation that “senior Labour figures were offering peerages in return for donations to the party”. As stated in the piece, Tony Blair was questioned by the police in the course of their inquiry into the allegation. A further eight officials or donors [...]

An article “Israel list names Russians helping Iran build nuclear bomb” (World News, last week) stated that Robert Einhorn, the special adviser for non-proliferation and arms control to Hillary Clinton, was understood to believe that Russian companies have also supplied material that has been used by Iran in the production of ballistic missiles. Mr Einhorn [...]

An article, “Rescuing Robohack” (Focus, last week), said that The New York Times denied that it had paid a ransom for the release of the reporter David Rohde but that authoritative sources in the region said the Taliban received up to $9m (£5.4m).

The Sunday Times wishes to correct a number of inaccuracies in an article dealing with the Press Council last Sunday.

Last week’s letter, entitled Facts in the pipeline, from Mr Robin Knight of London regarding allegations made in the Magazine article headlined Britain’s dirty business (April 6), and mentioning the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, referred to “destruction of business, population displaced, state corruption”. The correct wording should, of course, have read: “destruction of wetlands, population displaced, state [...]

It appears that Radar magazine produces some very enticing content. Last year, a Chilean magazine plagiarized from Radar’s Toxic Bachelors feature. Then, this past Sunday, the London Sunday Times “inadvertently” plagiarized content from a Radar piece, “100 Reasons Why You’re Still Single.” A report from the Guardian: A piece headlined “50 Reasons Why You’re Still [...]

Our report “Now wash your hands (and bedpans, and floors ..)” (Focus, October 14), concerning the health problems at Maidstone hospital was illustrated by an agency photograph of Mrs Patricia Fisk wearing an unhygienic nurse’s uniform.
