Mr. Barrett

asked the Taoiseach if he will give details of (a) the number and (b) the value of motor cars, commercial vehicles, tractors, other than agricultural motor tractors, and tyres imported for each of the years 1963 to 1966 inclusive.

With your permission, Sir, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the required information in so far as it is available.
