18. Mr. ASTOR

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether any of the capital sum made available by the Finance Act, 1911, has been provisionally allocated for the erection of institutions for tuberculous children; and, if so, what amount has been set aside for this purpose?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Herbert Samuel)

Yes, Sir. £100,000 has been so allocated out of the share of England in the capital sum available.

Mr. ASTOR

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how much has been spent on the erection of institutions for children?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I cannot say.
