In yesterday's Dail Report, the Loran C mast project was described as a satellite navigation system. It is a radio-based system.

In the letter headed "Political Corruption" from Barbara O'Connell in yesterday's editions, a typesetting error changed "successfully" to "unsuccessfully" in the sentence which should have read "Martin Bell . . . stood successfully against Neil Hamilton on just that ground [anti-sleaze] in the last British general election".
