§ 54. Mr. HOLTasked what was the grand total of the amounts announced as local subscriptions to the recent War Loan in those towns in Lancashire for which the local authorities at his request, or that of the National War Savings Committee, compiled and published returns; whether any estimate can be given of the total amount subscribed in those parts of Lancashire not included in the above lists; and what is the approximate amount of the War Savings Certificates purchased in Lancashire?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI understand that complete returns have not yet been received by the National War Savings Committee from those places which adopted their suggestion that daily or weekly returns should be obtained and published showing the local subscriptions for the War Loan. But when the returns are complete, I will consider the question of their publication.
