asked the Minister for Finance how many Exemption Orders he has made to date under section 48 of the Finance Act, 1963, in addition to those mentioned in a reply of 20th November, 1963; and if he will state the activities which he has exempted by such orders.

I have made no Exemption Orders under section 48 of the Finance Act, 1963, other than those mentioned in my reply to a question on 20th November last, and, accordingly, the second part of the question does not arise.
