HC Deb 11 February 1931 vol 248 c409
77. Mr. BATEY

asked the Minister of Health the amount of money set aside to be paid out as 100 per cent. grants to local authorities in distressed areas; whether this amount is now exhausted; and what provision is to be made for local authorities in very distressed areas who have not received any such grants?

Mr. C. EDWARDS

The whole of the £440,000 allotted to England and Wales has been allocated except a small sum kept in hand to meet engineering contingencies. Provision has mot been made for additional grants of this kind.
