The figures are selected on a quarterly basis. I could give the Deputy figures for any one month of the years.

The information has been given in the tabular statement being circulated with the reply. I have not the slightest objection to giving all the information the Deputy wants. I was merely clarifying what sort of information Deputy Allen wishes to receive.

It is important to get the figures because they arise in another question.
