Mark Pritchard MP – an apology

17 June 2010

On 17 March 2010 we published on our website a bulletin entitled ‘Come clean Willie – how many more Tory MPs have their snouts in BA’s trough’. Amongst other things, it commented upon a question raised that day in parliament by Mr Pritchard, the Conservative MP for The Wrekin. We said that he had, through his question in the Commons, viciously and disgracefully attacked BA cabin crew and we went on to call for Willie Walsh to come clean on how many MPs had been bought by BA.

In fact we are happy to clarify that Mr Pritchard’s question in parliament concerned only the leaders of Unite, and made no attack at all on BA cabin crew. Furthermore, the suggestion that Mr Pritchard had been bought by BA was entirely false and we apologise sincerely to him for this.
