asked the Minister for Finance if he will state whether a statement has been prepared, in respect of 1945, of the national income and expenditure, etc., corresponding to that published last year in respect of the years 1938-44; and if he will state when such a statement will be published.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - National Income and Expenditure.
A statement of the kind referred to by the Deputy is in course of preparation. Sufficient progress has not so far been made to enable me to indicate even an approximate date for publication.
Will the Minister say whether or not it will be issued before the introduction of the Budget?
It will not. It will be later on in the year.
