asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state the industries and the number of cases in each industry in which since the 1st November, 1933, he had intervened to exercise his powers under Section 2 of the Control of Manufactures Act, 1932, to prevent the unlawful carrying on of business in contravention of that section, and the number of cases in each industry in which prosecutions for offences under that section have taken place since November, 1933.
I would refer the Deputy to the reply given to his question on the same subject on the 29th November last. Since that date 130 further cases have been investigated, covering a great variety of manufactures. No prosecutions have been instituted.
