HC Deb 29 July 1947 vol 441 c255
51. Mr. Osborne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps he is taking to prevent the compensation to owners of industries about to be nationalised being vitiated by the recent fall in the value of Government securities, exemplified by the present price of 91¼ for the 2½ per cent. Treasury Stock issued last October

Mr. Dalton

The terms of compensation will be settled when the time comes, having regard to the price of Government securities at that time.
