The number of persons from whom letters have been received to date is 4,503. Applications for grants must be in the form prescribed by the Regulations made under the Act. These Regulations have been drafted, and the form of application has been sent in advance to the printers. It is anticipated that it will be ready in a few days' time, and it will be issued to applicants as soon as possible.
