HC Deb 18 December 1935 vol 307 c1784W
Mr. SHORT

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can state the sum contributed by the Government to the Land Settlement Association during 1935 and the total contributions by private individuals, respectively?

Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

During 1935 the association have received private donations to the value of £38,773, together with a grant from the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust of £15,000, making a total of £53,773. These contributions may be expected to earn a grant from the Development Fund of an equivalent amount, of which £34,268 has already been paid. In addition, the association have received from the Commissioner for the Special Areas the sum of £49,000 in respect of the estates which have been acquired and are being developed on his behalf.
