UNKNOWN
With respect, I don't think that is quite what the witness said Mr Chairman.  He stated he was never Commanding Officer of the Security Branch here.  I am not sure what my learned friend is getting at, but if the question is intended to suggest that he was in a position to ask for authority, he was never the Commanding Officer of the Security Branch whereas Gilbert was.
	Perhaps if my learned friend could just clarify the question, then one can understand what he wants.
