A MBSP spokesman, in a statement, said the council’s licensing department started carrying out inspections on the water theme park since Dec 16.

1. Should it be “An MBSP” instead of “A MBSP”?
2 Should it be “has been carrying out inspections... since Dec 16." instead of "started carrying out inspections... since Dec 16.”?

Thanks

@tanguatlay,
The first one is one of style. Some would say that as M sounds like em it should be an, but others would say that thas e original word would require a the initial should.

It's down to the individual.

You're right about the second one, it should be either, "started carrying out......on 16th Dec" or "has been carrying out....since 16th Dec."
