§ MR. COURTHOPETo ask the Secretary of State for War when the Bill will be introduced to confer statutory authority upon the War Office to vest mortgages transferred to that Department in the Secretary of State for War.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The legislation necessary to effect the purpose set forth in the Question will be secured by the inclusion of a clause in the annual Public Works Loan Bill. I am not aware of the date on which it may be proposed to introduce the Bill.
