§ 48. Sir Frank Sandersonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amount of profits per annum accruing to the Treasury from the issue department of the Bank of England in accordance with the Currency and Bank Note Act of 1928, during the period for the past seven years.
§ Sir J. AndersonI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which my predecessor gave on this subject to my hon. Friend the Member for Chislehurst (Sir W. Smithers) on 21st July, 1943, and of which I am sending him a copy.
§ Sir F. SandersonDoes not my right hon. Friend consider that the time has now arrived when all the returns should be published annually, accompanied by an auditor's certificate?
§ Sir J. AndersonI should like to see that Question on the Paper. The figures were published by my predecessor on the date I have mentioned.
