A second complaint against the Hull Daily Mail has been rejected by the Press Complaints Commission in the space of a week.

Last Friday the press watchdog rejected two claims from the wife of a police officer who admitted sex assault offences over stories published on the Hull Daily Mail website.

Today the PCC announced that it had not upheld complaints made by council officer Lee Turnbull over a story headlined: “Council denies service manager jumped queue for 3-bedroom house”.
