• An article reporting concerns from the Scottish and Welsh governments that a book commemorating the Queen’s 70-year reign was too Anglocentric (Jubilee children’s book hits a snag in Wales and Scotland, 1 May, p17), wrongly referred to those countries [constituent countries of the UK] as “regions”.
• The Kirklees council area does not include Wakefield as stated in an article previewing the local elections (Porn shame adds to Tory woes in south-west as party fears poll blow, 1 May, p4).
• Speedy crossword No. 1,387 (1 May, p59) may have been speedier than usual for some readers to complete; an administrative error meant it was a duplicate of No. 1,379 that appeared on 6 March. We regret any disappointment caused. In addition, the clue for 21 across should have been “Multiplied by itself twice”, not “Multiplied by itself three times”.
Other recently amended articles include:
Hero or hoax? The man who broke into Auschwitz – or maybe didn’t
