Corrections and clarifications

Poll results

A June 6 article said that a Policy Exchange poll found that only 2 per cent of British Muslims saw themselves as represented by the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB). The poll in fact found that only 2 per cent of British Muslims would choose the MCB to engage with government officials on their behalf. We apologise for the error. The MCB has asked us to make clear that it is an affiliate body, which does not act on behalf of individuals, making the ICM poll less relevant in its view. In addition, it has asked us to record that in a 2015 Comres poll for the BBC, 55 per cent of respondents believed “The Muslim Council of Britain does a good job representing the views of Muslims”, and in a 2015 ICM poll for Channel 4, 51 per cent of respondents agreed that the “Muslim Council of Britain represents your views”.
