asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he is aware that over four weeks ago an application was made to his Department to have fixed the selling price of a quantity of Argentine two-ply "Merrywool" delivered to a Dublin merchant on 5th April; that such price has not yet been fixed; if he will cause such price to be fixed without further delay; and if he will state the cause of the delay.

An Order fixing maximum prices for "Merrywool" two-ply knitting wool was made on April 25th. Having regard to the need to check figures of cost and other particulars supplied by the importing agent, I am satisfied there was no undue delay in dealing with the matter.
