HC Deb 18 April 1946 vol 421 cc2874-6
21. Mr. Thomas Lewis

asked the Minister of Health the amount of financial assistance to be granted by him under the scheme outlined on 6th November, 1945, to individual county boroughs, boroughs and Metropolitan boroughs, in England and Wales, for each of the years 1946–47 and 1947–48.

Mr. Bevan

As the reply involves a number of figures I will, with permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the reply:

Below are the sums which have been granted to individual local authorities in England and Wales as special financial assistance during the years 1946/47 and 1947/48. There are still a few authorities whose grant is not yet settled.
