in the work of the central office of the Land Registry.
For this reason it has not been found possible,
despite the best endeavours o f the staff, wholly to

restore the position, although I am afraid it may be
some time before there is an inflow of staff sufficient
to keep pace with the rapidly increasing intake of
work.
