It is proposed to take Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 15, 16, 17 and 7. Private Members' Business will be taken from 6 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. when the debate will be resumed on No. 27 on the Order Paper. It has been agreed to give three hours of Government time between 7.30 p.m. and 10.30 p.m. to dispose of No. 7 and should it be concluded before 10.30, the Order will be resumed.

With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to raise the subject-matter of Question No. 23 of 4th November, 1964, on the Adjournment.

I shall communicate with the Deputy during the afternoon.

When is it proposed to circulate No. 26, the Pensions (Abatement) Bill, 1964?

Not for another couple of weeks.

Could the Minister for Local Government say when he proposes to introduce the new housing legislation?

It has been introduced.

Has it been published?

It was introduced.

The question I asked was: has it been published? Surely the Minister does not suggest he would introduce something that he was not prepared to publish and had not got down to writing?

In a matter of a few weeks.
