Vol. 254 No. 11

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Value of Imports.

68.

Dr. FitzGerald

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will now state, in respect of each of the years 1965, 1968, 1969 and 1970 in relation to each division of imports as listed in the trade statistics, the value of (a) competing imports and (b) non-competing imports (as defined for the purpose of the annual review of industrial progress) from the United Kingdom and other countries, respectively.

Mr. Lalor

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

Following is the statement:—

1965
