§ Sir CHARLES HENRYI beg to ask the following question, of which I have given private notice: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any arrangements have been agreed to with the Bank of England to make advances for the full value of the 4½ per cent. War Loan: and whether the Bank of England will continue to make advances on the 3½ per cent. War Loan on the terms set forward in the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he gave the House of Commons particulars of this Loan?
§ Mr. WALTER REAThe arrangements made for advances by the Bank of England upon the 3½ per cent. War Loan will continue to hold good in respect of any portion of that Loan which is not converted into the new 4½ per cent. Loan. No arrangements will be made for similar advances upon the new 4½ per cent. Loan Stock or Bonds, whether they represent new money or converted 3½ per cent. War Loan.
