Inaccuracy in Sharon Shipton story

The HoS reports that Sharon Shipton may lose her job with the Ministry of Justice due to her testifying on behalf of her husband.

The inaccuracy is reporting that she works as a “project manager for the Electoral Commission – a division of the Ministry of Justice”.

The Electoral Commission is not part of the Ministry of Justice. It is a independent statutory body. And last time I checked they only have around two staff.

I suspect that Mrs Shipton works for the Chief Electoral Office, which is a division of the Ministry of Justice, and has quite a few more staff than the Electoral Commission.
