HC Deb 29 November 1819 vol 41 c357
Mr. Hume

rose to move for an account of the public debt of Great Britain and Ireland, to which he had called the attention of the House last session. The account which he was about to move for would, if produced, show the total amount of the funded and unfunded debt of this country, from the year 1786 to the year 1819, in a much more clear and correct manner than any that had ever been laid before the House. He then moved for "An account of the amount of the public debt of Great Britain and Ireland, and the interest thereon in British currency, as it stood on the 5th January in each year, from 1786 to 1819, in separate columns:—1. Debt redeemed, and interest thereon, Great Britain, including the Austrian and Portuguese loans:—2. Debt redeemed, and interest thereon, Ireland:—3. Total debt redeemed, and interest thereon, both countries:—4. Funded debt unredeemed, and interest thereon, including the Austrian and Portuguese loans, England:—5. Funded debt unredeemed, and interest thereon, Ireland:—6. Total funded debt unredeemed, and interest thereon, both countries:—7. Total funded debt, redeemed and unredeemed, and interest thereon, both countries:—8. Unfunded debt, and interest thereon, Great Britain (including all interest due, but not paid, on the 5th January 1819):— 9. Unfunded debt, and interest thereon, Ireland (including all interest due, but not paid, on the 5th January 1819):—10. Unfunded debt, and interest thereon, both countries (including all interest due, but not paid, on the 5th January 1819):11 Total debt unredeemed, funded and unfunded, and interest thereon, including all interest due, but not paid, both countries:—12. Total debt, redeemed and unredeemed, funded, unfunded, and interest thereon, both countries, including amount of annuities paid in each country, and the expenses of management."—Ordered.
