  1. Published a revised version of the ODS data tables. An error was discovered in the Durations total column in table 3-1 that was not a total of the published monthly timeseries data. We have removed this total from the revised data. The original data could mislead, since it referred to the total over the period the data is available rather than the total timeseries.

  2. First published.
