Vol. 337 No. 11

Written Answers. - Newspaper Distributive Business.

69.

asked the Minister for Trade, Commerce and Tourism the findings of the inquiry carried out by the Examiner of Restrictive Practices into the newspaper distribution business.

I presume the Deputy is referring to the findings by the Restrictive Practices Commission following their inquiry under the Restrictive Practices Act, 1972, into the supply and distribution of newspapers, which was held pursuant to a request by the Examiner of Restrictive Practices.

The conclusions and recommendations of the Restrictive Practices Commission are contained in the report of their inquiry, which was submitted to me in accordance with the Restrictive Practices Act. That Act requires me to lay this report before the Houses of the Oireachtas and I intend to do this shortly. I do not propose to publicise its contents before then.
