We will no longer reprint this booklet.

We have taken the difficult decision to reduce the number of our information booklets we make available in print by discontinuing a number of titles, including this one. Once the current stock of this title runs out it won’t be reprinted. This booklet will however remain available as a PDF, which will be updated when a new edition is available. The information in this booklet is also available on our website.

We’re working to improve our PDFs, and are rolling out fully interactive versions with clickable hyperlinks. These are more accessible than our old PDFs. We hope you find them an improvement.

Please be mindful of the quantities of this booklet that you order, so that we can keep this resource in stock for as long as possible.
