Our editorial last week (“Let’s not pretend that the sexual harrassment and abuse of young women is a problem particular to Hollywood”, Comment, page 34) said: “The charity SafeLives has revealed that almost one in 10 women has suffered domestic violence.” In fact, research by SafeLives highlights that almost one in 10 women suffers domestic violence each year.
We referred to the Pension Protection Fund as “state-sponsored” last week. While set up by government under the Pensions Act 2004, it is funded by a levy on eligible pension schemes and does not receive public money (“Monarch crisis leaves yet another pension fund up in the air”, Business, page 42).
A review of Heisenberg: The Uncertainty Principle last week referred mistakenly to an “observation” by playwright Simon Stephens “that music is the space between the notes”. The remark has been attributed to many musicians, from Mozart to Miles Davis, but is generally associated with Claude Debussy (“Love actually, love in theory”, New Review, page 22).
A headline in last week’s Magazine (page 54) announced the geopolitically impossible: “The UK’s best hotels, Britain and Ireland.” Apologies.
