asked the Minister for Finance whether the Commissioners of Public Works have in operation any policies of insurance issued to them by a syndicate or syndicates of Lloyds, and, if so, how much premiums in the aggregate are paid thereon per annum.

With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 32 and 33 together. The Commissioners of Public Works pay approximately £25 per annum in respect of insurance policies issued to them by foreign insurance companies. Of this amount about £10 10s. is paid for insurances to Lloyds.
