Corrections
Accuracy matters to us. If you spot an error, write to editor@whitehallminute.com and include the page address. When a source corrects or withdraws a statement we have reported, we update our story. When we correct, change or remove a page, we note it here.
How we correct
Spelling and formatting slips are fixed without a note. A factual error — a wrong figure, name, date, title or attribution — is corrected in the story, and a dated line at the foot of the story says what was changed. If a headline was wrong, the note says so. A story that cannot be put right is withdrawn, and its withdrawal is recorded in the log below.
How quickly
We aim to assess every report within two working days and to publish a correction on the day it is confirmed. We check reports against the original source, so a link to the document concerned helps us act faster.
