Question:

30 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if the view expressed by him in an interview (details supplied) in which he indicated that the proceeds of the sale of State owned companies should be used to reduce the national debt represents Government policy; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

If the Deputy reads again the press article to which he refers in his question, he will see that I did not express the view which he has attributed to me.
