Questions 29 and 30 not available
Barry reported confusion over whether questions 29 and 30 were for oral or written reply. Wilson did not have them, as they had apparently been removed on the assumption they were for written reply; he would answer if regulations permitted.
There seems to be a fall down in communications today with regard to questions Nos. 29 and 30. The Chair has said he has no control over the Minister with regard to answering them. I have spoken to Deputy Creed and he has told me that he asked to have his questions for written reply except for Nos. 29 and 30. Obviously the Chair got the same message because he was not told they were for written reply.

If the Minister has the questions perhaps he will answer them now. The time is up but I will permit an extra minute to reply to them.

I am afraid I have not got them. Evidently they were extracted in the belief that Deputy Creed had asked for written replies.
