Inaccuracy in HoC debate, c22-23WH, 10.1.12.

There are three instances in the above House of Commons debates columns for 10 Jan 2012 in the debate on regional pay (public sector) where comments that were actually made by Chloe Smith (Economic Secretary to the Treasury, Con) have been mistakenly attributed to Owen Smith (Lab, Pontypridd). Admittedly, Owen Smith spoke in the same debate, but it should be clear from the sense where the misattributions are. The relevant columns can be checked against the official Hansard record, which does attribute the speakers correctly.
