The information requested by the Deputy in relation to 2011 and currently in 2013 is as set out in tabular format below. However, in the time available to my Department, it has not been possible to assemble the information in respect of 1981. I will, of course, arrange to supply the Deputy with the 1981 information as soon as possible.
