HC Deb 25 February 1919 vol 112 c1584
58. Mr. SITCH

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will furnish a Return showing the issues of capital sanctioned by the Treasury during 1918 and issues of capital similarly sanctioned since the beginning of the Armistice?

Mr. BALDWIN

Ifear it is impossible for the staff to spare time for dealing with current applications to prepare a Return of this kind.

Mr. SITCH

Is the hon. Gentleman aware of the very great inconvenience that will be caused unless there is some Return of this kind under the new Regulations which prevent dealings in shares?

Mr. BALDWIN

I am not aware, but if the hon. Member will communicate with me I will look into the matter.
