§ Before coming to the proposals relating to taxation in the current year, I will refer briefly to certain other matters which will appear in the Finance Bill. The earlier issues of Savings Certificates are due for repayment at various dates from 31st March, 1932, to 30th September, 1933, and we have no power at present to extend their currency. I intend to seek such powers in the Finance Bill so as to enable us to offer present holders an extension of their investment. The Clause will not, of course, impair in any way the right of the holder to claim repayment at any time.
