1.

THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION IN TUR.

2.

THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ANOMALY IN THE FIGURES FOR 1989/90 AT (A). IT IS POSSIBLE THAT MR DARLING MAY ASK WHY 579 CASES APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN APPROVED FROM THE 1990 APPLICATIONS, WHILE ALMOST 2,000 APPLICATIONS REMAIN OUTSTANDING FROM 1989.

GRATEFUL FOR AN EXPLANATION WHICH WE CAN USE WITH MR DARLING IF THE MATTER IS RAISED.
