It is assumed that the question refers to the Vote for Public Works and Buildings rather than to the Vote for the Office of Public Works which relates to expenditure on office administration only.
The total of the amounts voted for Public Works and Buildings in the ten years ended 31st March, 1959 was £34,435,000. Records of expenditure on the Vote are not kept by the Commissioners on a county or constituency basis and it would not therefore be possible to supply the detailed information asked for except by an exhaustive examination, which would involve a disproportionate employment of staff and time.
