HC Deb 17 May 1916 vol 82 cc1524-5
91. Sir CHARLES HENRY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amount of application for the £l for 15s. 6d. war-saving certificates that have been issued up to 30th April and the amount of the certificates that have been redeemed?

Mr. McKENNA

The cash value of war-savings certificates issued up to the 30th April, 1916, was £2,109,181. The cash repaid in the same period in respect of certificates realised was £3,443.

Sir C. HENRY

Will the right hon. Gentleman take steps to replace this issue by one of a more attractive kind?

Mr. McKENNA

I think the response has been excellent.
