asked the Minister for Finance the amount outstanding under the following headings on 31 December 1979: (i) the national debt and (ii) the total indebtedness of semi-State bodies.
Written Answers. - State Debt.
271.
National Debt outstanding at 31 December 1979 is provisionally estimated at £6,500 million.
With regard to the indebtedness of semi-State bodies, this information is not readily available, but if the Deputy will repeat the question in a week's time I expect to be in a position to provide it.
