§ 25. Mr. Alisonasked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs if he will publish details of the special £24 million mini-work programme authorised for development areas in the last few weeks.
§ Mr. ShoreMost of the work is made up of small individual items for which local authorities are responsible and which it would not be practicable to identify separately. The total cost of the programme is now estimated to be about £27 million, made up approximately as follows: £16 million on roads; £4 million on schools, universities, etc.; £3¾ million on hospitals; and the balance on public buildings and works and such miscellaneous items as prisons, industrial estates and the demolition of air raid shelters.
