asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether the proviso to the auditors' report by Price Waterhouse and Co. of the Pigs Marketing Board report for 1977, that there was a serious temporary breakdown in the sales recording and credit control systems means that there was a loss of public funds; and what was the amount of such loss.

The Pigs Marketing Board's investments are not financed by public funds and therefore the question of loss of such funds does not arise.
