As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:—

* The relevant information is not available in respect of calendar years.
As there would appear to be only three figures involved would the Minister be so kind as to let us have them?
There are in the tabular statement a total of 12 figures and they are very big, very long and very complicated.
Another complex problem.

asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries if he will indicate from the information available to date the prospects for increased exports of dairy products during 1970.
It is estimated that exports of dairy products in the current year will show an increase of the equivalent of about 50 million gallons of milk over the 1969 level.
