HC Deb 21 June 1915 vol 72 cc928-9
35. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Treasury possesses any and, if so, what power to render effectual its expressed disapproval of the issue of new capital during time of war; and, if not, whether steps will be taken to obtain such power?

Mr. MONTAGU

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my right hon. Friend the late Chancellor of the Exchequer on the 18th May last to my hon. Friend the Member for the Bridgeton Division.

Sir J. D. REES

Can the right hon. Gentleman say what that was?

Mr. MONTAGU

I will send the hon. Member a copy of it.
