HC Deb 07 December 1976 vol 922 c162W
Mr. Noble

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how much he estimates will be spent by the Health Services Board up to 31st March 1977.

Mr. Ennals

Parliamentary approval to expenditure on this new service will be sought in a Supplementary Estimate for the Health and Personal Social Services, England, Vote. Pending that approval, the necessary expenditure up to £70,000 will be met by repayable advances from the Contingencies Fund.
