asked the Minister for Finance if he will state the number of licensed manufacturers of tobacco qualified on the 31st March, 1935, to receive rebate under Section 20, sub-section (3), of the Finance Act, 1932 (No. 20 of 1932), or Section 18 of the Finance Act, 1934 (No. 31 of 1934), and the number of these who by the 31st March, 1935, had received by way of this rebate sums amounting to (1) one-quarter of their total paid-up capital, but less than one-half; (2) one-half of their total paid-up capital, but less than the amount of their paid-up capital; (3) their total paid-up capital, but less than twice their paid-up capital; (4) twice their total paid-up capital, but less than three times; (5) three times, or more than three times, the amount of their total paid-up capital.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral—Answers. - Rebate to Tobacco Manufacturers.
asked the Minister for Finance if he will state the names and location of the licensed manufacturers of tobacco qualified to receive rebate under Section 20, sub-section (3), of the Finance Act, 1932, (No. 20 of 1932), and Section 18 of the Finance Act, 1934 (No. 31 of 1934); the date from which they are so qualified, the amount of the authorised capital of the company; the amount of the paid-up capital of the company at the qualifying date; and the total amount of rebate paid to the company up to the 31st March, 1935.
I propose to take the Deputy's two questions together. On the 31st March, 1935, ten licensed manufacturers of tobacco were qualified to receive rebate under Section 20, sub-section (3), of the Finance Act, 1932 and Section 18 of the Finance Act, 1934. The aggregate amount of rebate allowed up to the 31st March, 1935, was £218,051 17s. 7d. The amount of rebate paid to individual firms or companies is not available in the Revenue accounts and statistics, and the special preparation of this information would involve an expenditure of time and labour which would not be justified.
A return will be circulated with the Official Report showing the other particulars required by the Deputy, with the exception of those relating to paid-up capital, which is a matter that is proper to the Minister for Industry and Commerce.
Following is the return:—
Names and location of the licensed manufacturers of tobacco qualified to receive rebate under Section 20, sub-section (3) of the Finance Act, 1932, and Section 18 of the Finance Act, 1934, the date from which they are so qualified and the amount of the authorised capital or capital invested.

Is the Minister aware that when the Minister for Industry and Commerce was asked a question with regard to the paid-up capital he referred the Deputy to the Minister for Finance? Is he aware that question 15 is the question which is now referred to the Minister for Finance at the request of the Minister for Industry and Commerce?
It may be so, but I cannot help it.
