asked the Taoiseach if he will state the value of canned fruit imported into this country from Japan for each of the last twelve months.

I propose with the permission of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the value of canned fruit imported into this country from Japan in each of the months October, 1958, to September, 1959, inclusive.

Following is the statement:—

VALUE of canned fruit imported from Japan in each month October 1958— September 1959.
