I thought the Minister could give it to me in one figure and not ten.
The amount collected in the past ten years was £35,414,455. In an endeavour to be helpful to the Deputy, I am giving him separate figures.
It is fairly constant each year? Does it vary much?
It has gone up from £2.6 million in 1958 to £4.6 million in 1967.
