Capita boss was Labour funder, Capita just got the contracts
guardian: The following correction was printed in the Guardian's Corrections and clarifications column, Thursday May 25 2006
.... we incorrectly said that "Capita lent Blair £1 for his campaign last year after its turnover from public contracts increased in seven years from £112m to £1.4bn." In fact, Rod Aldridge, Capita's former executive chairman, who is serving as Capita's non-executive chairman until the end of July this year, made the loan to the Labour party in his own personal capacity from his own personal funds. Capita was not involved in any way at all.
db: We also previously stated that Capita was a Labour funder. It was Rod - not Capita. Make much difference? He got his cash back no doubt through Capita's improved share price.
