The Advertiser would like to make it clear that Daljeet Rose, of Woodhill Avenue, Gerrards Cross, who consulted Dominic Grieve MP on a planning matter, is not the same woman who assaulted the MP in his constituency office on September 4.
Our website carried a story which incorrectly connected Mrs Rose with that incident. This story was wrong and has been removed and we apologise to Mrs Rose for the error which was pointed out to us by Mr Grieve as well as Mrs Rose.
We would also like to clarify that neither Mr nor Mrs Rose have been accused of issuing death threats to their neighbours Mr and Mrs Watson.
