Mr. MALONE:

asked the President of the Board of Education what is the total amount which has been paid oat by the State to the Lord's Mayor's Fund for the distressed mining areas?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Duchess of Atholl):

My right hon. Friend would refer the hon. Member to the answer which he gave to the hon. Member for Spennymoor (Mr. Batey) yesterday, of which I am sending him a copy.

Mr. MALONE:

May I ask whether we can be informed when the new Supplementary Estimate will be presented to the House?

Duchess of ATHOLL:

My Noble Friend pointed out yesterday that that is a question for the Leader of the House.
