HC Deb 06 December 1922 vol 159 cc1821-2W
Mr. MILLAR

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amount of the fund at present available in the hands of the Development Commissioners for the purposes laid down in the Development and Road Improvement Funds Act, 1909?

Mr. BALDWIN

Excluding the Corn Repeal moneys and a gift of £10,000 from the Red Cross, the balance on the Development Fund available for the general purposes of the Development and Road Improvement Funds Act, 1909, now stands at £423,000, including cash and investments at cost price. The whole of this sum is expected to be required to meet existing commitments of the Development Commissioners before the end of the financial year 1923–24.
