asked the Minister for Local Government if he will give particulars of the allocation of the additional £200,000 now being made to local authorities under the Local Authorities (Works) Act.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—

LOCAL AUTHORITIES (WORKS) ACT, 1949.

Supplementary Grants for 1956/57 notified to County Councils on 24th November, 1956.
