were working and we have been working since, I think it is the
best we could have done.
Chairman: What about ordinary permit fees?
Mr. Taylor: I have not been able to go into that.

There now is a perfect record for all purposesî
They are now making a record and keeping it up.
The shroff is your base line, the man who receives the fee. Joes he keep a book showing such and such a permit issued against the appropriate fee?
He has a book-keeper and she sits beside him and keeps a record. That is a simple record and I think it stands as a perfect record. At the end of the day you have so many permits issued
you can check that from the serial numbers and so much money
received. And that money is brought to account with you. Has each shroff got one of these books or have the shroffs got two
books between them?

A.
I understand there to be a book for each type of permit.
Q. Irrespective of which shroff may actually be handling the fee?
A.
Yes, that is what I understand.
Tell me about the registers of the actual audit-numbered forms,
the number of forms that are out.
Actually a blank form of
British passport is a very valuable document and must be very carefully safeguarded.
I found when I went there that the registers were kept, but they
were not balanced, They made a record as receiving so many from
the Treasury and issuing so many. I saw Mr. Pudney one day
and he pointed out to me that he had asked them to balance it up like a cash book, receiving and paying out, and they had done it
since then.
Those permits in the ordinary course pass through three or four hands? They are completed part at one table and part at another, they are embossed and stamped at another place, and
are issued by an issuing shroff? Is there a record now of
each movement of each one of those permits?
No comments yet.
Private notes are available after approval.
