Can the Minister tell us when we can expect publications of the Government's White Paper on Industrial Policy? If it is to come out soon can I take it that the version leaked to the newspapers is the official version——

That is a separate question altogether.

The Minister spent quite a few minutes outlining certain details and he said the strategy would be contained in the White Paper to be published. I am only asking him when we can expect publication of the White Paper promised nearly 12 months ago. I am asking him when can we expect publication of the strategic plan of the IDA, completed in 1982. If those documents have been finalised, as we are led to believe from leaks to the newspapers, why not publish them?

I cannot give the House any precise information as to the publication dates. Naturally, both will be published as soon as possible. In regard to the document that was leaked, that information did not reflect the final version of the White Paper.

Would the Minister disagree that decisions have been made to do this and that? The Government have said that they have decided——

If the Deputy wants to put down questions on the matters I will be happy to deal with them. The Deputy is now chasing different hares.

The Chair would prefer that extraneous hares should not be raised.

You are not a bad slipper.

If they are put up, the Chair does not want them followed.
