I have two questions to put, Sir, in respect of promised business. May I ask the Minister for Finance, in the first place, if there are proposals to introduce a new Central Bank Bill soon, and if this Central Bank Bill will introduce a single regulatory authority for all financial institutions as they are now operating in very similar areas: by that I mean insurance companies and building societies as well as banks? Will the Minister further say if it will contain powers to reduce interest rates, in view of the apparent resistance of the Central Bank to a reduction in interest rates that is due at this time?
Secondly, may I ask the Minister for Finance if it is proposed to introduce a revised Book of Estimates, in view of the statements by the Minister for Education in regard to the provisions for primary school salaries?
