Vol. 125 No. 11

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Export of Non-Ferrous Metals.

Major de Valera

asked the Taoiseach if he will state the quantities by weight of non-ferrous metals exported from this country during the first three months of 1951, stating the metal, quantity and destination of the export in each case.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the desired information.
