     1        A.  Yes.
     2
     3   Q.   Yes?  My question is really -- the others perhaps speak for
     4        themselves -- I assume if it says "Return school to
     5        college", you at Head Office would regard that as being a
     6        fairly reliable figure?
     7        A.  Yes.
     8
     9   Q.   What do you make of the categories "Personal" and numbers
    10        (4) and (11) "Without notice"?  What interpretation do you
    11        give them, if any?
    12        A.  Well, those include what people have said and so on.
    13        It could be that sometimes personal reasons could cover
    14        other aspects of -- covering the kind of dissatisfaction
    15        areas.  It is possible that that is the Manager's
    16        interpretation.  So they are somewhat more subject to
    17        judgment.
    18
    19   Q.   (11) "Without notice", I suppose, is if somebody just does
    20        not reappear, is that what it is?
    21        A.  It is if someone resides and does not actually work out
    22        their notice.
    23
    24   Q.   Again, I suppose, there could be an element of what one
    25        might call a dissatisfied category within that item as
    26        well?
    27        A.  Yes, that is right.
    28
    29   Q.   If one looks at the dissatisfied items which are numbers
    30        (12) through to and including (18), yes?
    31        A.  Yes.
    32
    33   Q.   One sees that they amount to just over 5.5 per cent of the
    34        total?
    35        A.  Yes.
    36
    37   Q.   These are reasons reported by the Managers?
    38        A.  Yes.
    39
    40   Q.   Then there is "Other" which is statistically insignificant
    41        anyway?
    42
    43   MR. MORRIS:  Sorry, can we ask, is that other dissatisfaction or
    44        is that just other -----
    45
    46   MR. RAMPTON:  Other reason, unidentified.
    47
    48   MR. MORRIS:  How do you know?
    49
    50   MR. RAMPTON:  I see.  I am sorry.  I made a mistake.  Mr. Morris 
    51        is quite right.  One should add .83 per cent because it 
    52        stands for other conditions.  I did make a mistake.  So 
    53        that just brings it over 6 per cent.  The next categories,
    54        (22) to (28), are what one might call involuntary ---
    55        A.  Yes.
    56
    57   Q.   -- terminations, yes?
    58        A.  Yes.
    59
    60   Q.   The first two I do not ask about, redundancy and medical
