HC Deb 05 October 1938 vol 339 c336W
Mr. Naylor

asked the Minister of Pensions what is the amount now standing to the credit of the King's Fund for the assistance of those disabled or bereaved by the Great War?

Mr. Ramsbotham

The amount standing to the credit of the King's Fund as on 30th September, 1938, is estimated at £7,556, of which £725 has already been allocated for certain future grants, leaving a balance of £6,831 now available for grants. The greater part of this amount is, however, subject to restrictions in accordance with the conditions under which various bequests and donations have been made to the Fund, and the balance which is, in fact, available for all purposes without restriction is not more than £1,389.
