asked the Minister for Finance the various items of State aid for agriculture and for industry in respect of the years 1960-61 and 1961-62, and in so far as the Volume of Estimates already published is concerned for 1962-63, in the form of a reply of 8th February, 1961.
Written Answers. - State Aid for Agriculture and Industry.
109.
The information requested by the Deputy in respect of 1960-61 and 1961-62 is set out hereunder. The figures for 1960-61 are of actual expenditure and for 1961-62 are the Budget Estimates as increased by supplementary estimates since passed. As regards 1962-63 many of the relevant figures appear not in the Volume of Estimates but in the Tables in connection with the Financial Statement which will not be available until Budget day. If the Deputy asks another question after the Budget I will be glad to provide the information in respect of 1962-63.
