§ Mr. GILBERTasked the President of the Local Government Board whether his Department has made any financial grant to the national council for combating venereal disease; if so, will he state what the amount was for both last year and this year; if any conditions were made with the grant; and will he state what those conditions are?
§ Major ASTORA grant of £8,000 was paid to the council towards their expenditure for 1918 on various measures for educative publicity work, and £5,000 has similarly been paid towards their 1919 work. The question of a further grant for this year is not yet settled. The measures thus aided are discussed with the Board, and are taken by the council subject to the Board's concurrence.
