The question asked when the report will be published and the reasons for the delay.

As I told the Deputy before, if he wishes to get information regarding the balance sheet he should put down a question. Obviously, I will have full knowledge of the report and accounts when they are presented to my Department. I shall then present them to Government immediately they are available.

Will the Minister give the reason for the long delay in this connection? Is it not true that the last report received was for 1984? The question asks for the reasons for the delay.

The Minister has answered that.

What are the reasons for the delay?

I am not accepting that there has been any delay.

We are now in the middle of 1986.

It is quite standard procedure to get reports within six months of the end of the accounting year.

I am calling Question No. 6.
