LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Tony Blair's Labour party has apologised for canvassing voters heading to the funeral of a family member.
Carol Hughes was in a black limousine with her daughter heading to her father's funeral when party canvassers approached to encourage them to vote for Labour.
The party said the canvassers had mistaken the potential voters for a wedding party. Their local candidate, member of parliament David Drew, had written to say sorry.
"David has written a letter of apology," a Labour party spokesman said. "It was a regrettable incident."
