Notes on the text

The full text of the report (including the Appendices) is online.

I've corrected a handful of misprints and a few spelling inconsistencies.

Anything added by way of explanation is shown [in square brackets]. Note, however, that square brackets are used in Appendices B, E and G - these are as shown in the printed version.

Since there aren't pages as such in this web version, footnotes (marked in the printed text by asterisks and other symbols) have been numbered and collected together at the end of each chapter.

In Appendix B the footnotes were already numbered but were shown at the bottom of each page. In this version they have been collected together at the end of the Appendix (before the two Annexes).

The Annex to Chapter 4 is a table which is shown here as a link: clicking on it opens the table in a pop-up window.

Every web page includes chapter links (as in the left hand column on this page) and there are links to the next and previous chapters at the bottom of each page.

I have proof-read and spell-checked the text, but if you spot any errors I'd be grateful if you'd email me.

Other than the above, what you see here is what appeared in the original print version of the report.
