The number of successful applicants registered so far is not large because of the checks built into the system to safeguard confidentiality and to minimise the possibility of manipulation. safeguards are especially front-end loaded. A more detailed description of the safeguards is covered in paragraph 34. As mentioned earlier, the intention is to interview about 75% of the potentially successful applicants by the end of 1992 and the rest in the first half of 1993. The rate of registration will roughly follow the same pattern.

So far, no applications have been rejected. It is envisaged that the first batch of rejections will be issued in early 1992.
