“How can we put the taste back into British food?” (Special report, last week, page 15) mentioned Iceland supermarkets in relation to a court case in which three men were accused of arranging beef and horsemeat to be combined and sold as beef in the UK in 2012.

Our profile of the writer Paula Hawkins said her book The Girl on the Train was published by Riverhead. That’s correct in the United States; in the UK, the novel is published by Transworld, a division of Penguin Random House, under the imprint Doubleday (Black Swan in paperback). It has sold more than 15m copies worldwide so far; not, as we said, 11m (“An unexpected ending to writer’s dark journey”, last week, page 34).
In “Grandeur or glamping? Emotions run high over fate of Loch Lomond’s beloved banks” (News, last week, page 7), we said Loch Lomond was the largest inland expanse of water in the United Kingdom. It is the largest in Great Britain; Loch Neagh in Northern Ireland is the largest waterway in the UK.
