10 January 1972
Mr M.T. Murphy,
14 Fairview Crescent Kelburn WellingtonDear Sir,
National Military Service Act 1961
I would advise in reply to your letter of 10 December 1971 that the National Military Service Act 1961 is part of the law of New Zealand. This Department does not make the law but is charged with the duty of administrating the Act and its amendments. It would obviously be impracticable to supply everybody with a copy of the Act but publicity is given in the news media and by notices posted in various public places, e.g. Post offices, Railway Stations and Police Stations. If further information is required it may be obtained from any office of the Deaprtment of Labour.
Under the terms of the Act you are deemed to be a late registrant and your application for registration has been [unclear: actioned] accordingly. In due course you will receive notice of the time and place appointed for the hearing of your application by the Conscientious Objection Committee.
Yours Faithfully
(M. Jones)
for District Superintendent
