• The Labour MP who, in the liaison committee meeting of 6 July, asked Boris Johnson for a “yes or a no” answer about meeting Alexander Lebedev without officials, was Diana Johnson, not Meg Hillier (“Johnson, Lebedev and me...”, 17 July, p31). The article also said Yvette Cooper was the shadow defence secretary; she is the shadow home secretary.
• In today’s pre-printed New Review section, a review of Much Ado About Nothing incorrectly identifies the actor mentioned for her performance as a maid; the part is played by Phoebe Horn (“Delicious ado about nothing”, p35).
• A headline (“Dame Dorries? PM’s plan would leave a byelection booby trap”, 17 July, p7) was liable to confuse readers about Boris Johnson’s reported intentions. The article said it was “understood that he wants to hand peerages” to two MPs, including the culture secretary, Nadine Dorries. As a peer she would be Lady Dorries (or Baroness Dorries, although Observer house style prefers the former).
