asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state, with reference to his reply to Questions No. 15 and No. 16 on the 5th April, 1951, the result of the analysis of the representative number of samples referred to by him in the case of each and every such sample, and, further, if he will lay on the table of the House every one of the analysts' reports on each and every such sample.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Samples Analyses.
Major de Valera
As regards the first part of the question, I propose, a Chinn Chomhairle, with your permission, to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the desired information.
In regard to the second part of the question, as the statement shows the analysis results in full, I see no purpose in laying copies of the actual reports on the table of the House.
The following is the statement:—

Did that include an analysis of every sample?
There were 39, each one of which will be furnished in the report.
