• An article mentioned a quote said to have been given to the publication Nature by Prof Ruben Saakyan, professor of physics at University College London. That quote had appeared in the print version of the journal but Nature added a correction to the online version of its article saying that it had “erroneously attributed the observation [about the level of discontent] to a specific researcher” (“Just a big toy – or key to the universe? Row over even Larger Hadron Collider”, 30 March, p9).
• An article incorrectly referred to Stockport when intending to note the racist violence of the Southport riots (“Let Britain’s magical, mythical creatures inspire a patriotism untainted by politics”, 30 March, p46).
• A comment critical of Amanda Spielman’s record at Ofsted was misattributed to a No 10 spokesperson; the quote was from a government source (“Peerage for Ofsted chief at time of head’s suicide would be ‘an insult’”, 30 March, p4).
