As outlined in reply to a previous question from the Deputy, an application was received on 15 May 2008 requesting the transfer of 15.02 standard entitlements to the person named from his father by way of gift. The subsequent transfer of the herd-number to the person named from his father has made it possible to proceed with the processing of this application.
Several documents relevant to this transfer were issued to the person named, most of which have since been completed and returned to my Department. However, the signature of the person named on the Deed of Transfer had not been witnessed and this was also returned to the person named for correction. To date, this completed document has not been returned to my Department.
Upon receipt of this latter document, the application will be processed without delay.
