In a recent article titled "France finally repeals notorious slavery law dating back to 1685" (29 May, p30), we quoted Max Mathiasin, the French MP who tabled the motion to repeal the law. However, we mistakenly stated that he was speaking to MPs; the remarks were actually from an interview with the Associated Press. We apologize for this error.
Additionally, in the article "On the road to ruin" (30 May, Saturday magazine, p23), we incorrectly stated that the Highways Act 1980 applies to the whole of the United Kingdom. In fact, this act applies only to England and Wales. We regret the inaccuracy.
