§ Mr. Gwynfor Evansasked the Minister of Transport what is the total sum of the social grants he has to date decided to allocate in England, Scotland and Wales, respectively, under Section 39 of the Transport Act, 1968.
§ Mr. MarshThe estimated totals for 1969 of grants under Section 39(1) are:
England £47.217 million Scotland £9.787 million Wales £2.812 million Grants for Anglo-Scottish and Anglo-Welsh services have been apportioned on a mileage basis.
As explained in my Answer on 28th January to my hon. Friend the Member for Central Ayrshire (Mr. Manuel), these figures are still subject to certain adjustments. They do not take account of transitional grants under Section 39(4).—[Vol. 776, c. 295–302.]
