asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce the names and addresses of the members of the National Prices Commission; and the various organisations which they represent on the commission or by whom they were nominated.

The following are the names of the members of the National Prices Commission, their nominating bodies and the addresses of those bodies: Mrs. Mairead Allen, nominated by Irish Housewives Association, 8 Dawson Street, Dublin, 2; Mr. John F. Carroll, nominated by Irish Congress of Trade Unions, 19 Raglan Road, Dublin, 4; Mr. Liam Connellan, nominated by Confederation of Irish Industry, Confederation House, Kildare Street, Dublin, 2; Mr. Peter E. O'Brien, nominated by Federation of Trade Associations, 5 Upr. Pembroke Street, Dublin, 2; Mr. Harold O'Sullivan, nominated by Irish Congress of Trade Unions, 19 Raglan Road, Dublin, 4. The independent chairman of the commission is Mr. J.J. Walsh who is appointed by the Minister.

May we take it that there is some purpose in the failure of the Parliamentary Secretary to give the addresses of the members, as asked in the question?

I do not think any real purpose would be served by giving their home addresses. They are acting in a public capacity as nominated by public bodies and the appropriate place to which any complaints about their public activities should be addressed is their public address.

I merely wanted to have the Parliamentary Secretary's observation on that point on the record because he glossed over it——

I do not believe it would be appropriate or even useful to give the private addresses.

I am simply asking that the Parliamentary Secretary answer the question put to him or give the reason why he does not. He has now given it.
