Abstract
The authors regret an error that was made in Table 4 (Cost Benefit Analysis). The cost estimates in rows 1–3 were incorrect for SOUP and Asset-Only. This changes the benefit/cost ratios in rows 14–16. A corrected version of Table 4 is presented on the following page. This correction does not change the conclusions of the cost-benefit analysis or of the paper. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
