I propose to take Questions Nos. 11 and 12 together.
Statements are being prepared furnishing in so far as is practicable the particulars required, and will be forwarded to the Deputy at an early date.
Will they be printed in the Official Report?

I must press this, so that any reply to a Deputy's question will be published in the Official Report.
If the Deputy means in the Official Debates the answer is, yes.
If available. It would be contrary to practice to insert a reply not now furnished. The questions and answers will be in the Official Report.
