From the information furnished by the Deputy it has not been possible to identify in the records of the Department the applicant to whom he refers. If, however, he will be good enough to let me know the number of Mr. Kenny's Qualification Certificate and the Local Office at which he is furnishing evidence of unemployment I shall have further inquiries made and shall let him know the result as soon as possible.
