HC Deb 17 November 1908 vol 196 c1060
MR. FELL

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can state the amount of Consols and other Government stocks held by foreign investors or by persons resident abroad.

MR. HOBHOUSE

No, Sir. The information is not available.

MR. FELL

Cannot it be obtained from the. Income-Tax Returns?

MR. HOBHOUSE

I am informed it is not available. I cannot go beyond that.
