5.
An amending superannuation scheme which covers, inter alia, the distribution of the surplus in question is at present under examination by me in consultation with the Minister for Finance in accordance with the provisions of the Electricity Supply Board (Superannuation) Act, 1942. I hope to be in a position to give a decision in the matter at an early date.
Would the Minister repeat the statement? I could not hear a thing with the people on the opposite benches shouting.
Surely that is wasting the time of the House?

An inspired question.
When does the Minister anticipate he will have the information?
I could not say. It must be examined by all the parties involved.
A number of months?
Yes.
