2. After obtaining the report, has your department carried out any investigation? When was the investigation conducted
and who conducted the investigation?
3. What are the findings of the investigations? Which findings can be based on to support your issuing the above warning letters?
A reply letter (without a reference number) from Mr. Haye, the Deputy Director of Education dated 14th July, 1977 said that "As regard to the warning letters issued on 15th June to teachers concerned of that school, I have no further material to add to them.
With respect to the reply letter dated 14th July, 1977,. the Union wrote to the Director of Education again on 16th September asking for a reply to the following questions:
As to "no further material to add", is it that your department has not obta ned any report and has not carried out any investigation so you have no findings to support your issuing the warning letters? Or is it that your department has received reports, has carried out investigation and the findings are sufficient to support your issuing the warning letters and only that your department is not willing, to disclose to the nion the material?
