§ * MR. STUART SAMUEL (Tower Hamlets, Whitechapel)I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to secure facilities from the Bank of England so that it may consent to advance money upon the security of the part paid scrip of the new issue of Consols.
§ SIR M. HICKS BEACHThis is not a matter in my control, but I am informed 1317 by the Bank of England that they will advance money upon the security of the partly paid scrip of the new issue of consols on their usual terms.
