the possibility of computerising in the shortest possible moment,
2 would you now say that this particular problem that you have had 3 would largely be behind you?
SCS:
I should think so, sir.

CHAIRMAN:
Well, Mr Secretary, I am actually as a member of this Committee as Chairman, I am quite surprised on leaves
that there are so many really in the Government. The Government is
the largest employer, so would you assure this Committee that
computerisation on this programme will eliminate possibly all your

than leave/he has been due, this will be adjusted. He will then have a
negative balance. On the other hand if for some reason an officer
has been credited with less leave than he should have earned, this
again will be credited, I think, so at the end of the day he will
take what he has been entitled to.

MR CHAN:
Put the question the other way, let's say
not in dollars and cents terms but in sort of a percentage terms of the number of days, is this a minimum problem, a problem, or is the
