A news story erroneously stated that the European Union Institute for Security Studies was funded by some of the world’s biggest arms companies. EUISS is an autonomous EU agency, directly funded by the EU member states. It is not and never has been funded by arms companies (“EU nations may be landed with £3.5bn bill ”, last week, page 33).
“I am Daniel Blake. There are millions more like me” (In Focus, last week, page 36) referred to the cases of 2,400 people who died over a two-year period within 14 days of being taken off employment and support allowance “because they were declared ‘fit to work’ by Atos”. Atos conducts assessments; the Department for Work and Pensions makes the decision on fitness to work.

Sugar rush: our chocolate brownie recipe last week was enough for 30 examples, rather than about a dozen. Please go to www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/food-and-drink for the correct ingredient measures. And the seed cake needs 260g of unsalted butter – not 20g. Apologies.
