It is proposed to take business in the following order: Nos. 23, 24, 6, 7 and 25. Questions at 2.30 p.m. and if Questions conclude before 5 p.m. it is proposed that the House should then adjourn.
Order of Business.
If Questions do not conclude before 5 p.m. will they be finished?
Some people are anxious to get away.
We are anxious to get answers to the Questions.
I intimated yesterday my desire to raise on the Adjournment the matter of the increase in hospital costs. The Minister found it inconvenient to be present and asked that I should postpone this matter until today.
I will communicate with the Deputy.
I hope that the Minister for Foreign Affairs will be here today. I asked yesterday in a supplementary to a question the total cost of the pamphlets and the Minister had not got that information.
I have not got it either, if the Minister for Foreign affairs has not got it.
It is a simple matter of addition.
The Deputy is out of order in raising this matter at this stage.
All I want is a simple answer to a simple question. I will communicate with the Minister for Foreign Affairs during the day and will ask to have an answer to the question this evening.
