§ 23. Sir FREDRIC WISEasked the Minister of Labour the amount advanced under the Unemployment. Grants Committee, what percentage is non-revenue producing, and what percentage is revenue producing?
§ Sir A. STEEL-MAITLANDI am not sure as to the precise information desired by my hon. Friend. In the period since the autumn of 1921 the total estimated cost of works approved for grant on the loan basis by the Committee was approximately £87,500,000, of which £49,000,000 was for non-revenue producing works, and £38,500,000 for revenue producing works. In respect of grants on the wages basis during the same period the corresponding amounts were £17,000,000, £5,000,000 and £12,000,000 respectively.
