The Minister has said there are fewer than 50 cases in dispute with the Department. Is this one of the 50?

There is no application in my Department relating to the person named on this. Deputy Donnellan should get the Christian name and the surname correct. Some of the Christian names and addresses are not right.

The Minister must be aware of the problems in his Department when so many questions of this nature have to appear on the Order Paper.

We paid more grants in the first two weeks of January this year than were paid by the Coalition Government in the first six months of 1977.

If this applicant makes a sworn affidavit to the effect that he lodged an application, will the Minister accept it?
