Dear Mr Flynn,
Thank you for your reply and for correcting my misunderstanding of the entries in the Register of Members' Interests.
We have now posted the following statement on the I-Player page where this particular edition of The Big Questions is accessed.
“Note: At about 7mins 10 seconds into this programme, during the live debate about "Should MPs work full-time for their salaries?", an opinion is expressed by an audience member concerning the Labour Party and Paul Flynn MP’s position concerning the issue of MP’s having second jobs. The audience member is Paul Halliday the Liberal Democrat prospective parliamentary candidate for Newport East. By way of response to those comments, Paul Flynn MP has asked us to point out that he donates all income from his books to charity, a practice he has made public regularly and a practice he advocates other MPs should adopt in relation to any additional income they receive."
I trust this will clear up any misunderstanding of your position and I hope you will accept my fullest apologies for any distress this may have caused you.
