Correction: Henry Bellingham MP
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Our article 'Roll up for an adult debate about drugs' (3 October 1995) wrongly included Henry Bellingham, MP for North West Norfolk, in a list of public figures said to support the legalisation of cannabis.
In fact, Mr Bellingham, who is a member of the Parliamentary All Party Drugs Reform Group, does not support the legalisation of cannabis and strongly opposes illegal drug use. We are happy to correct the record and apologise to Mr Bellingham, who was not consulted before publication of our article.
