HC Deb 07 November 1933 vol 281 c23
38. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Minister of Health whether he can now give full information as to the disposal and allotment of the £500,000 grant to the distressed areas?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

The distribution of the grant has been made on the basis set out in Command Paper No. 4374, which accompanied the Estimate. As the amounts allotted to individual areas involve a considerable number of figures I will, with my hon. Friend's permission, circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT a statement showing the approximate amounts for England and Wales. If information is desired in regard to the allocation in Scotland, an inquiry should be addressed to the Secretary of State.

Following is the statement:
