The Guardian has issued corrections for errors that appeared in recent articles. In a piece published on May 28, a quote attributed to the mayor of London was incorrectly sourced. The quote, which concerned new housing policies, was actually from a deputy mayor. The error has been corrected in the online version.
Statistical Error in Economy Report
Additionally, an article on the UK economy from May 25 contained an incorrect statistic. The figure for GDP growth in the first quarter was stated as 0.3%, but the correct figure is 0.5%. The error was due to a misinterpretation of data from the Office for National Statistics. The article has been updated to reflect the accurate figure.
