This page is written and kept up to date by the desk. Before anything goes up we check three things: that every figure carries the filing, statute or report that fixes it; that every date carries the document it comes from; and that every procedure is described the way the body that runs it describes it. We do not rate operators, we are not paid to list anyone, and where we have no source the field stays empty and we say so.
