asked the Minister for Labour the amounts of funding which have been allocated under the management, training and support scheme to management and trade union participants respectively in the years 1985 to 1987 inclusive.

The information requested by the Deputy is given in the tabular statement which is being circulated in the Official Report.

Management Training Support Scheme (formerly TAG) Expenditure 1985-1987 inclusive

Expenditure on the Management Training Support Scheme was grant-aided at the rate of 55 per cent from the European Social Fund up to 1984. From 1985 assistance is available on a very restricted basis only.

Before we leave Question No. 7 may I——

Sorry, I have called Questions Nos. 8 and 21 together.

If I can just ask a very short supplementary on Question No 7?

Sorry, Deputy it would be unprecedented to go back on questions.

I appeal to your good nature.

If the Deputy is dissatisfied she has ways and means of dealing with the matter.

I am not dissatisfied at all.

We could appeal to your sense of chivalry.

I should like to. I have always hesitated to disallow the Deputy but she is asking me to go back on a question already disposed of.

I did not expect it to be disposed of with a tabular statement.

Usually in respect of a tabular statement the Deputy awaits the information contained therein.

I am afraid that all the information that was sought is not in it.

I am sorry, I shall not be set aside on this issue. Question No. 8 please.
