HC Deb 05 May 1961 vol 639 c132W
Mr. Hocking

asked the Minister of Education what has been the total amount of money his Department has provided, by way of grant, for all educational purposes to Coventry Corporation since January, 1952.

Sir D. Eccles

Nearly £16 million. This amount includes over £15 million paid by way of specific grant on the Corporation's educational expenditure for the period up to 31st March, 1959, and £800,000 paid in respect of expenditure since that date on school milk and meals, which fall outside the scope of general grant.
