HC Deb 24 October 1932 vol 269 cc598-9
53. Lord SCONE

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he drew the attention of the Australian delegates at Ottawa to the position of British trustees holding Australian securities placed on the Treasury trustee list under the Colonial Stock Act, 1900; and whether, for the better protection of those trustees, he will suggest that Australian sinking funds on loans raised in London should in future be lodged here with the National Debt Commissioners for investment?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Hore-Belisha)

The answer to both parts of the question is in the negative.
