asked the Taoiseach if he will state the quantity of (a) super-phosphate (various grades), and (b) slag imported during each month of the current year.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report, a statement giving the desired information.

Following is the statement:

QUANTITIES OF SUPERPHOSPHATES AND BASIC SLAG IMPORTED IN EACH MONTH JANUARY—SEPTEMBER, 1950.

Particulars of grades of superphosphates are not available.
