HC Deb 12 May 1909 vol 4 c1807
Mr. H. H. MARKS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he could state the amounts of Consols purchased for Sinking Fund purposes in the five weeks following the close of the financial years 1906–7, 1907–8, and 1908–9, respectively?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I must refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave to the hon. Baronet the Member for the City of London on the 6th instant.

Captain CRAIG

Is there sufficient money still in hand to keep on buying Consols during the progress of the Budget, and so to bolster up the price?
