I have received notice from Senator Patrick J. O'Reilly that on the motion for the Adjournment to-night he proposes to ask the Minister for Industry and Commerce to state what action his Department has taken or proposes to take in connection with the shortage of tinned steel, tin plates and other requisities required for the repair of churn bottoms and other parts of churns.
I am accepting that notice, and the matter will be taken at 9.30 p.m. or earlier if the business for to-day concludes.
