Biography / Administrative history

The Deputy Minister's Office was the senior administrative centre in the Department of Manpower and Immigration to which all other branches and divisions in the department report. In any government department the deputy minister acts as head of the department funnelling advice to the minister and ensuring that the department implements the pieces of legislation entrusted by Parliament to the department. The deputy minister is also responsible for the preparation of the department's annual report and for its presentation to Parliament.

Additional information

Custodial history

Six of the files in this series, those found in RG26 volumes 170 and 173, were received alongside the registry files of the Deputy Minister of the precursor department, that of Citizenship and Immigration. For this reason the six files are in RG26 rather than RG76 volumes.
