Cut & paste errors

Via James Hamilton I come across the allegations of plagiarism against TV psychologist and psychiatrist(one of only two in Britain, according to James) Raj Persaud. It's not in any doubt that Persaud used another person's work, however he claims it was a cut and paste error, and the sub-editors too out the speech marks. As such then it seems trivially easy to find out whether he is telling the truth - ask the sub-editors?
