§ 62. Mr. SHINWELLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he proposes to take steps to alter the Law to enable parents, resident in Scotland, who have invested in War Stock on behalf of their children, to negotiate such stock in order to meet liabilities incurred in connection with expenditure on the education of the children; and whether the difficulties experienced by Scottish holders of War Stock will be removed, thus placing them in a similar position to that held by holders of stock resident in England?
§ Mr. BALDWINThe hon. Member is under a misapprehension: Scottish holders of War Stock are in this respect in exactly the same position as other holders, which is that stock in the sole name of an infant cannot be dealt with until the holder attains the age of 21.
§ Mr. SHINWELLIf I submit a case of this kind to the right hon. Gentleman, will he give it his consideration?
§ Mr. BALDWINI shall be pleased to look into any case submitted to me.
