Corrections and clarifications
• The government is to make the recording of ethnicity mandatory on death certificates in England, not on birth certificates as an article about measures to understand the impact of Covid-19 said (Ethnicity to be noted on birth certificates, 22 October, page 8).
• An editorial about the Grenfell inquiry wrongly said that a former panellist was forced to step down due to a link with “one of the contractors” involved in the tower’s refurbishment; the connection was to Arconic, the cladding manufacturer (19 October, page 2, Journal).
• Other recently amended articles include:
