§ Mr. MORGAN JONESasked the Minister of Health whether the expenditure incurred by local authorities on highways and bridges in respect of administrative and other general expenses, and cleansing of streets and gullies, watering, snow clearing, etc., is admitted by his Department for the block grant under the Local Government Act, 1929; and, if so, what is the percentage of the grant under these two headings, respectively?
