I must say that Question No. 42 was referred to earlier and you kindly asked me to restrain myself in anticipation of the Minister's reply.

In the course of supplementaries and in the course of the Minister's reply to a previous question you yourself, Sir, advised the House that this was a matter for another question.

I will answer Questions Nos. 20 and 42 if the House wishes. I am willing to be helpful. Question No. 42 was to be taken with Question No. 20 which was not reached.
