HC Deb 27 July 1943 vol 391 c1389
54. Colonel Burton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amounts payable in commission to banks, or other institutions or persons, on subscriptions to "Warships" Weeks, "War Weapons" Weeks. and "Wings for Victory" Weeks?

Sir K. Wood

No special commissions were payable in respect of subscriptions to Government issues in "Wings for Victory" Weeks, or in the earlier similar series of Weeks. The normal commissions would he paid to banks and stockbrokers at the rates and subject to the conditions set out in the prospectuses of the various issues. It would not be possible, without a disproportionate expenditure of time and trouble, to estimate the amount of such commission paid on sums raised in special Weeks.
