Mr. Burke
Work permits normally take at least one month to process because of consultations with trade unions and/or other bodies as the necessity arises, but recently it has been taking somewhat longer because of an increase in the number of applications received. In the case in question the work permit was issued to the employer on 18 June 1980.
