Mr. P. Hogan

(South Tipperary) asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he will broadly itemise the £2.7 million worth of telephone equipment imported for the financial year 1963-64, stating the company sources of supply for the major items.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.
