HC Deb 25 June 1940 vol 362 cc297-8
45. Mr. De la Bère

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has any figures to show the approximate total amount in aggregate which was lent by Barclays, National Provincial, Midland, Westminster and Martins Banks, to agriculturists at the 31st December, 1939, or 1st January, 1940?

Sir K. Wood

Perhaps my hon. Friend would be good enough to defer this Question until next Tuesday.

Mr. De la Bère

Am I to understand from that answer that neither the Treasury nor the Ministry of Agriculture has any approximate figures on this matter?

Sir K. Wood

No, Sir.
