The two parts are related. Is the Minister aware of the representations made by the customs and excise union to the effect that all these drugs are imported and that customs officials have not been provided with the facilities to detect drugs being imported here? This may be part of the problem. Is the Minister aware of that? Does she have any intention of doing anything about it?

The question deals with a record of arrests made under a specific Act.

We would not have any arrests if the drugs were not brought in.

It does not arise on this question.

This is an important question. Today I was at a community care centre——

It may be an important matter but the Deputy should put down a question about it.

Statistics as to the number of people on drugs are very important. We have sensationalised newspaper reports about this, that and the other but we do not have any indication of how many people are on hard drugs. The real answer to the problem is to deal with the matter at customs.

That does not arise. If what is sought in the question was carried out it would not help the Deputy.

Will the Minister consider including in the Misuse of Drugs Act customs and excise officials?

That is a separate question. This is one of the reasons why Question Time is getting out of hand.

I am anxious to ask the Minister if she would include those officials under that Act. If they were included they would come up with statistics.

If the Deputy wants that information he had better table a separate question.
