Point of order: Hansard inaccuracy

Last Wednesday, Boris Johnson, the London Mayoral Candidate for the Conservative Party, and MP for Henley, sought to rectify the Prime Minister’s misleading comments at Prime Minister’s Questions.

During his point of order, several people were shouting and interrupting, saying that the Prime Minister was leaving, so the Speaker intervened, saying “Order. I need to hear the hon. Gentleman’s point of order. I am the only one who has to stay and listen to it.”

At least, that is what he said if you trust the Hansard report. If you watch the video, you’ll find his actual words slightly different: “Order. the Prime Minister doesn’t need to stay to hear the hon. Gentleman’s point of order. I am the only one who has to stay and listen to it.”

It’s hardly a major difference, but in an age where all debates are televised and recorded – why is Hansard allowed to be getting things wrong?
