§ 44. Sir EDWIN CORNWALLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can give the exact amount subscribed to date by the purchase of the five shilling War Stock; whether the demand for this stock still continues; and for how long these facilities for popular investment will remain available?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe sales of 5s. scrip vouchers up to the end of August amounted to approximately £244,000. The returns for September by which the progress of demand can be gauged are not yet available. I am not yet in a position to make a statement as to the last part of the question.
