Letter of correction from Nick Clegg:

An error has been identified in the written answer given to the right hon. Member for Warley (Mr Spellar) on 5 July 2011.

The full answer given was as follows:

[The Deputy Prime Minister]

There were 14 members of staff employed in my private office on 31 July 2010. The precise figures for 5 July 2010 are not available. There were 17 members of staff employed in my private office on 30 June 2011.

The correct answer should have been:

[The Deputy Prime Minister]

There were 14 members of staff employed in my private office on 31 July 2010. The precise figures for 5 July 2010 are not available. There were 16 members of staff employed in my private office on 30 June 2011.
