For the record | UK news

An article (Drivers sue Royal Mail over ‘gig economy’ work shifts, 25 February, p22) suggested legal action seeking to have Parcelforce delivery drivers reclassified as workers, rather than as self-employed, would bring benefits including sick pay. This should have said “holiday pay”; it is only employees and certain types of worker who qualify for sick pay.

We said that WildBrain owns some of the creations of the animator Ivor Wood. In fact the company owns only Wood’s original Paddington Bear FilmFair series and, aside from a Paddington Bear doll, holds none of Wood’s production materials (Underground, overground: hunt is on for a home for the Wombles and their friends, 3 March, p18).
