§ GENERAL SIR GEOEGE BALFOURasked the Secretary to the Treasury, If he will direct a Table to be prepared, showing the Annuities required to cover the interest on Loans, at as many varying rates as are charged by Government; also the Sinking Funds to pay off Loans at different periods, having regard to the variations in amounts of the Annuities consequent on their being paid quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly?
§ MR. COURTNEYThis information can be found in any volume of mathematical tables, such as Willich. Any intending borrower can also ascertain the figures applicable to his particular case on reference to the lending body. Under these circumstances, I think we should be scarcely justified in printing the information as a Parliamentary Return.
