§ 62. Sir L. LYLEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the present value of the residuum of the War stock not yet disposed of; and what was its original purchase price?
Mr. GRAHAMThe estimated value of surplus War stocks remaining for disposal—assuming that the hon. Member refers to stocks in the hands of the Surplus Stores Liquidation Department—is approximately £7,000,000. I regret that it is not possible to state what the original purchase price of this stock was, as it was purchased over a long period of years, and by different Departments of the State.
