The Minister will be aware that another large company have complained that the biggest single factor affecting their operation is the lack of timber at the proper price. It is not that timber is not available but because other companies operating in the North of Ireland who have British Government 100 per cent capital grant-aid and labour subsidies are able to out-price them for the timber on the market. Is the Minister aware of that? Has the Minister any policy in relation to the fact that these companies because of the subsidies they receive are in a position to price local companies out of the market?

I am aware of what the Deputy has stated and I would hazard a guess that my predecessor was aware of these difficulties. While my predecessor did not do anything about trying to regulate the problems arising out of this——

The House would like to hear what the Minister is doing about this matter. I am not Minister any longer. We had this type of statement last week about fishing. The Minister should tell us what he is doing.

There should not be interruptions during Question Time.

As I have told Deputy Mac Giolla, an interdepartmental committee will report within a matter of weeks in relation to the marketing of timber here.

Is the committee discussing this aspect of the problem?

The committee's remit is to discuss all aspects of marketing here.
