Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Imports of Tyre Covers.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state the total number and value and average value of (1) pneumatic outer covers for motor cars and tractors, (2) pneumatic outer covers for motor cycles and tri-cars, (3) pneumatic outer covers for pedal cycles, (4) pneumatic inner tubes for motor cars, tractors, motor cycles and tri-cars, and (5) pneumatic inner tubes for vehicles other than motor vehicles imported during each of the years 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934 and 1935.

I am circulating with the Official Report a statement giving the required information.

Following is the statement:—

Number, value and Average Value of Imports of Pneumatic Outer Covers for Motor Cars and Tractors, Motor Cycles and Tri-Cars and for Pedal Cycles, and Pneumatic Inner Tubes for Motor Cars, Tractors, Motor-Cycles and Tri-Cars and for Vehicles other than Motor Vehicles, in each of the years 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934 and 1935.
