asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether he will state what periodical figures or other indices of the state of employment are available in his Department to persons desiring to keep the situation closely under review, and whether he will arrange periodical prompt publication, and circulation to Deputies, of such information, if any, by his Department.

Dr. Ryan
The Census of Production reports are available for the purpose mentioned. Particulars of employment in the tariffed industries as at 1st March and 1st September each year are also collected so far as practicable and I am considering the form in which this information can best be supplied to the House.
Meanwhile I will continue to give such information as is available in my Department in regard to any particular industry to any Deputy who asks for it.
