Definitely. There is a tremendous amount of work in collecting and assessing information to keep the publications up to date and the result includes enormous detail. We are not perfect and while we endeavour to maintain a very high level of accuracy, errors and omissions do occur. We are always very grateful when users take to time and trouble to tell us about errors or omissions. This can be done through any one of the Contact Us methods. We will try to respond in each case but, unfortunately, this is not always immediately possible.
