The state broadcaster said:"We acknowledge that the information we reported - that Coutts' decision on Nigel Farage's account did not involve considerations about his political views - turned out not to be accurate." It added:"We have amended this article's headline and copy to make clear that the details about the closure of Nigel Farage's bank account came from a source."
The letter from Mr Farage's lawyers to the ICO states:"The content of the BBC report gives rise to the inescapable conclusion that the bank was providing confidential information comprising Mr Farage's personal data about his financial affairs to the press, which, on the face of it, would constitute a serious data breach by the bank."
