§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that of the £7,204,000 grant in aid to the Uganda Resettlement Board only £600,000 is being allocated as grants to local authorities, whereas 209W £6,456,000 is being made for other expenses of reception and settlement; and whether he will give a breakdown of the manner in which this latter figure is being allocated.
§ Mr. LaneInitial provision of £600,000 has been made for those cases in which local authorities submit immediate applications for grant without waiting until the end of the financial year.
