asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state in respect of each of the years 1946 to 1956, inclusive, (a) the number of petrol pump permits granted, indicating separately the numbers under each statutory fee, and (b) under the same headings, the number of permits that lapsed.

The information requested by the Deputy is not available in my Department.

Could the Parliamentary Secretary say where the information could be obtained?

No.

They were statutory charges and surely some record is available somewhere?

I gave the information available to the Department.
