asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he has sanctioned any increase in the price of compound or any other artificial manures.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Price of Artificial Manures.
I have not.
If the Minister has not sanctioned any increases, has he any information of increases in prices being charged for these compounds, and if he has not received such information would he consult his colleague, the Minister for Agriculture, with a view to putting an end to the rumours that are in circulation that the prices of these compounds have increased or with a view to taking appropriate measures if the prices have, in fact, increased?
Mr. Lemass
I have made inquiries, and I have been assured there have been no recent price changes.
Thank you.
