asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce (1) if he will state what bounty, if any, has been paid on exports of agricultural machinery up to June 1st, 1933, and (2) if he has any information at his disposal showing the amount of duty which has been collected by the British Government on agricultural machinery exported from the Irish Free State up to that date.

The actual amount of bounty payments in respect of agricultural machinery exported up to June the 1st, 1933, is £60 11s. 3d.. I have no information at my disposal showing the amount of duty which has been collected by the British Government on agricultural machinery exported from the Irish Free State.
