HC Deb 24 July 1922 vol 157 c32
88. Mr. MYERS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can state what proportion of the National War Debt of £7,000,000,000 is lied by financial corporations and banks, the mercantile community, the propertied and professional classes, and the wage-earning classes, respectively; and whether, if no precise statistics are available, he can, give any information which will throw light on the matter?

Sir R. HORNE

No statistics are available, and I fear I can add nothing to the inferences that may be drawn from the various published particulars of the National Debt, and other sources already available.
