§ Mr. MacCollIn the first stages of the programme under the Local Government 193W Grants (Social Need) Act the resources available have been, or will be, allocated to projects in the field of nursery provision, child care, play groups and educational projects such as in-service training courses for teachers working in urban areas of special social need.
