I propose to take Questions Nos. 163, 166, 168, 195 and 199 together.

The financial information requested by the Deputy relating to the grants payable by this Department to schools over the past five years would involve an inordinate amount of administrative time to compile. The information relating to the basis for each grant will be compiled and provided to the Deputy by letter as soon as possible.
