§ Mr. Harold Daviesasked the Minister of Health if he will give the figures showing the number of dentists per head of population in the towns of Leek, Kidsgrove, Biddulph and Cheadle in North Staffordshire in 1945, 1955 and 1960, respectively.
§ Miss PittThe following is the Answer:
made in the current financial year up to 30th June.
In the current financial year grants and loans will be made through the Colonial Services and Colonial Development and Welfare Votes as shown in the Civil Estimates, 1960–61, Class II, Votes 8 and 9 (H.C. 104 (i)), the Revised and Supplementary Estimates for these services (H.C. 235 and 236 respectively) and through the Supplementary Estimate of the Vote of the Department of Technical Co-operation, Class II, Vote 12 (H.C. 238). In addition, it is expected that issues of Exchequer loans made under Section 2 of the Colonial Development and Welfare Act, 1959 will amount to about £30 million. Issues will also be made to the Colonial Development Corporation under the Overseas Resources Development Act for investment in dependent territories.
I am unable, at the present time, to provide a comprehensive division between territories of the estimated totals of issues of Exchequer loans and issues from the Colonial Development and Welfare Vote. Nor am I able to give a firm figure of the amounts of Exchequer advances which will be made to the Colonial Development Corporation for investment in dependent Commonwealth territories during the whole of 1961–62.
