Why MP stuck to microphone: Part II

Monkey owes Peter Luff, Conservative MP for mid Worcestershire, an apology. On Tuesday we took the mickey out of Pete for banging on about digital switchover potentially rendering some live entertainment equipment – such as radio microphones and talkback facilities – unusable during a culture select committee hearing. Apparently his son does work in the industry, but is not a sound technician at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, as we suggested. Luff emailed Monkey to point out this error, saying that while his son made him aware of the issue: "My real reason [for campaigning on this issue] is my passion for theatre, which would suffer a huge blow if Ofcom's plans went through. So would broadcasting, sport, live music and a host of other things." Happy to put the record straight, Peter.
