Mr. RHYS DAVIES
asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the total amount of State grant added to the funds of approved societies up to the last available date for each of the last five years and the amount which would have been added were it not for the provisions of the Economy Act, 1926?

Mr. GREENWOOD
The total amount of State grant towards approved societies' expenditure in Great Britain for each of the last five years has been as follows: --------------------------
|                        |
--------------------------
|1926                    |
--------------------------
|1927                    |
--------------------------
|1928                    |
--------------------------
|1929                    |
--------------------------
|1930 (to 30th September)|
--------------------------
If the grant had been calculated at the rates in force before 1926 it would have been as follows:
 --------------------------
|                        |

|1926                    |

|1927                    |

|1928                    |
