HC Deb 11 February 1908 vol 183 cc1534-5
MR. CLAUDE HAY

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer what sums, if any, have been issued to the Government of the Transvaal, under the Transvaal Loan Guarantee Act, 1907.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. ASQUITH,) Fifeshire, E.

The Government of the Transvaal recently issued £500,000 six-months Treasury Bills, which are guaranteed under the provisions of the Act referred to. There has been no issue to the Government of the Transvaal under the guarantee.
