Version 0 of 1.

• We got a year wrong in an opinion piece that said “Asquith depended on Irish votes in the 1906 parliament and finally overrode the Lords veto” (An antidote to Salmond: offer the Scots home rule, 26 March, page 37). The Liberal government elected in 1906 had an overall majority. It was after the general elections of January and December 1910 that Herbert Asquith’s minority government depended on Irish votes, and the Lords veto was abolished by the Parliament Act of 1911.

• Polish speakers were quick to point out that the advertisements shown pinned to a noticeboard in a photograph accompanying a feature about immigration were not looking for Polish workers, as we said in the caption. They were all for flatshares or rooms to rent (How immigration came to haunt Labour, 24 March, page 27).

• An editing error in one of the stories from immigrants featured in Tuesday’s G2 said that for more than half a decade, no one had identified Ahuvia Kahane’s accent as Israeli. That should have said that no one had identified his accent in more than half a century (‘I am here to stay…’, 24 March, page 4).
