asked the Minister for Finance if he will state particulars of the bounties payable on the export of articles or products other than agricultural products on 1st November, 1938.
Export bounties and subsidies on industrial products were discontinued as from the 19th May, 1938, and consequently no bounty was payable on the export of articles or products other than agricultural products on 1st November, 1938.
asked the Minister for Finance if he will state the amounts paid by way of subsidy and export bounty on each category of industrial products in respect of which such payments were made in each of the years ended 31st March, 1936, 1937 and 1938, and the total amount so paid each year.
As the information requested by the Deputy contains a number of figures and is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with the Deputy's permission, to circulate it with the Official Report.
