Is the Minister aware that from September, 1977, it will be compulsory to have safety frames fitted on most tractors and that they must comply with OECD standards? Has he any proposals to instal testing facilities for those frames at the IIRS or elsewhere?

There was nothing in the Deputy's question to indicate an interest in safety frames on tractors and there is nothing in my brief that relates to it. However, if he cares to put down a question I will find the answer for him.

Is the Minister aware that at the present time if any engineering firm went into this business they would have to send the tractor and the frame to England for a test. That could cost £500 or £600——

I am sorry to interrupt the Deputy but he seems to be raising a distinctly separate matter which is worthy of a separate question. Question No. 16 deals with equipping the Institute for Industrial Research and Standards. There is nothing about tractors in the question.
