asked the Taoiseach if he will state the amount of fruit pulp imported by the jam manufacturers during the years 1948, 1949, 1950 and 1951.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Fruit Pulp Imports.
I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the quantity and value of fruit pulp and juice imported during the years in question. As the official import list did not prescribe a separate heading for pulp, it is not feasible to segregate fruit pulp from fruit juice for these years. The amount imported by jam manufacturers is not available as a separate total.
Following is the statement:—
