HC Deb 16 May 1944 vol 400 cc31-2
60. Mr. Mainwaring

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, having regard to the anxiety felt by large numbers of workers who have not received for each year separately a statement showing the amount of post-war credits to which they are entitled, whether he will make a statement making clear their position.

The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. Assheton)

I am not clear to what circumstances my hon. Friend's Question relates. Every taxpayer who is entitled to post-war credit for any year is sent a separate certificate of post-war credit for that year. The certificates for 1941–42 and 1942–43 have already been issued: the certificates for 1943–44 will be issued during the current year.

Mr. Mainwaring

Is the Financial Secretary aware that the Question relates to the failure to issue such certificates to large numbers of workers who regard their money as an investment in the British Empire and are anxious about its realisation?

Mr. Assheton

If my hon. Friend will be good enough to let me have any case in which there has been delay, I will look into it.
