Order of Business.
In view of the fact that we will be rising for the Easter Recess at the end of this week, will the Minister be in a position to make, any time this week, a statement to the House on the fuel position, following his discussions with members of the British Government?
I do not contemplate making a statement, but there is a Parliamentary question down for to-morrow which I shall answer.
What Estimates do we propose to take?
Votes 63 and 64, Votes 32 to 40 and then Vote 61.
When will the Social Welfare Estimates be taken?
I cannot say just now. The Minister is somewhat indisposed.
