HC Deb 08 July 1879 vol 247 cc1863-4
MR. DODSON

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If he will lay upon the Table of the House a statement or computation of the amount of simple interest unpaid in respect of the several loans proposed to be remitted by the Public Loans Remission Bill, and of the total amount thereof?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER,

in reply, said, he should be glad to accede to the request of the right hon. Gentleman. He might, however, state that every year the amount of the interest increased, and, according to a rough calculation, it was at the present time somewhat more than £250,000.
