HC Deb 22 December 1915 vol 77 cc465-6
46. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government, in view of the favourable reception accorded to the proposal to pay war bonus and wages in part by War Bonds, intends to give further consideration to this proposal?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. McKenna)

As the hon. Member will be aware, the whole question of the encouragement of savings by the popularisation of War Loans for the small investor is at present receiving close consideration by the Committee presided over by my right hon. Friend the Financial Secretary of the Treasury.

Sir J. D. REES

This particular proposal amongst others?

Mr. McKENNA

I do not think any proposal is escaping their attention.
