Q.
Would it be correct if I said that long before the opening of
the Immigration office I was in contact with you and Mr. A.J.C.
Taylor of your department?
Yes.
After the opening of the department which I think was on the 17th November I was in almost daily contact with you?
Yes.
Mainly on matters of accounting methods, receipt forms and the question of printing forms?
Yes.
And the permit forms had to be supplied through you?
Yes.
They were checked through and supplied from your store to me?
Yes.
Can you remember when it was that the Government decided to discontinue the policy of printing in the gaol, or when the position was made operative?
I cannot remember exactly- the operation was carried out between
the months of July or August and October.
Have you had any complaints from the Government printers that they
were deluged with work?
Yes.
And there was great difficulty in getting departmental forms
supplied at that time? The first supply which we had, called the "old permit forms" and which you objected to, were supplied by the Government printers?
Later, on your advice, the new forms were given to another firm?
Yes.

Yes.
