§ 57. Mr. A. M. SAMUELasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the approximate saving in interest charges that will accrue to the Treasury by cancellation or repayment of Government 1758 debt during the current financial year, against issue or re-issue of Government securities, excluding debt to the United States of America., bearing interest at rates lower than those payable on the retired obligations.
§ Mr. BALDWINI must ask my hon. friend to wait until the financial year is over, and I can deal with these matters in the Budget. Statement.
§ Mr. SAMUELShall I put this question down again, or will he deal with it in his Budget Statement?
§ Mr. BALDWINI think I shall probably deal with it in my Budget Statement.
