asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether he is aware that the British Government is revising the basis of the cost-of-living index, and whether he will take similar steps in Saorstát Eireann.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Cost-of-Living Index.
The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. With regard to the second part, the branch of my Department concerned is at present engaged in urgent work arising out of the Census of Population, 1936, but it is intended, when a favourable opportunity arises, to consider the matter raised in the Deputy's question.
