Seán Barrett Mr. Barrett Fine Gael

(Dún Laoghaire): I propose to circulate a statement giving the available information.

Following is the statement:

Imports £ million

A—Section O of SITC Revision 2 excluding live animals chiefly for food (Division 00) and feeding stuff for animals (Division 08)

B—Division 00, live animals chiefly for food and Division 08, feeding stuff for animals

C—Horticultural relate items not included in A or B above e.g. live trees and other plants; bulbs, roots and the like; cut flowers and ornamental foliage.

*Preliminary estimate.
