§ Mr. Wm. Rossasked the Secretary of State for Defence how many applicants 534W for the Ulster Defence Regiment have had their application forms returned in each of the last two years because the wrong colour of ink was used by the applicant.
§ Mr. HayhoeApplications to the Ulster Defence Regiment are reduced to microfilm and, as this process requires that the original form be completed in black ink, applicants are clearly asked to use this colour. Forms not completed in black ink were returned to the applicants until last month, but the problem is now overcome in other ways. I am afraid no record has been kept of the number of returned applications.
