Unrelated facts

In your reporting of the sale of the Turner collection, you have twice published the name of Simon Finch, described as a book dealer. Because of the coincidence of this name with my own I would like to make clear that I have never had any contact with this man, he is not related to me, as far as I am aware, and he was not the purchaser's agent with whom the university dealt when negotiating the sale of the collection.

Janet Finch Vice-chancellor, Keele University
