Complainant Name:
Sir Stuart Bell MP
Clauses Noted: 1
Publication: Press Gazette
Complaint:
Sir Stuart Bell MP complained to the Press Complaints Commission that the newspaper had published an inaccurate account of a separate press report about his working practices, in breach of Clause 1 (Accuracy) of the Editors' Code of Practice.
Resolution:
The complaint was resolved when the PCC negotiated the publication online (where the article had originally appeared) of the following correction:
Press Gazette reported on 8 September that the Middlesbrough Evening Gazette had complained that local MP Sir Stuart Bell had not returned more than 100 phone-calls made by its journalists. To clarify, the Evening Gazette reported that the calls had not been answered; it did not suggest that its reporters had left messages. We are happy to set the record straight.
