HC Deb 05 July 1917 vol 95 c1291
67. Mr. HUME-WILLIAMS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will give an early opportunity for discussion in this House of the question of an issue of premium bonds or, if that is not immediately possible, whether the Government will appoint a Parliamentary committee to consider and report upon the subject?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The answer to the first part of my hon. and learned Friend's question is in the negative. I shall consider the suggestion made in the second part.
