§ 61. Mr. FELLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can arrange special facilities to enable working men, whilst overtime is so prevalent and such high wages are being earned in many trades, to invest their savings in the War Loan or other Government securities in the same way as is done in France and other countries which encourage saving and thrift?
§ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Lloyd George)Ample facilities already exist in this country for the investment of small savings in the War Loan and other Government securities through the medium of savings banks.
§ Mr. FELLI have had a somewhat similar reply on previous occasions. May I ask the right hon. Gentleman if his ingenuity cannot find some way by which this can be in some way secured? At the present time it certainly is not working effectively.
