Some gremlins crept into our Africa special in New Review last week. We said there were reportedly 695 billion mobile phone subscribers in the continent. We meant 695 million (page 11). Similarly, our interview with Bright Simons (page 9) said his organisation mPedigree "works with nearly 2,000 different telecom companies". It actually works with 20 companies and is in discussions with two dozen more. And the bar in the novel Broken Glass is Credit Gone West, not Credit Gone Away (page 6).

"People smugglers target their victims as organ donors and house slaves" (early editions, News, last week, page 23) quoted the UK Human Trafficking Centre's claim that 1% of potential human trafficking victims were smuggled into the country for organ harvesting. Out of 2,077 potential victims, two (and possibly a third) were identified as having been trafficked for organ harvesting – less than 0.1%, not 1%.

Our review of C4's The Queen's Mother-in-Law mistakenly included a picture of the late Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, not Princess Alice of Battenberg, Prince Philip's mother.

"My Sunday in a Picture" (New Review, 19 Aug,) was by Ruth Pritchard of Rhyl, not Michael Foster of Stoke on Trent.
