§ 66. Sir W. Smithersasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give, at the latest available date, an account showing the nature and amount of the securities held by the National Debt Commissioners as investments for moneys of the National Insurance Funds.
§ Sir S. CrippsNo, Sir. In accordance with long established practice, I am not prepared to anticipate information which will be given to Parliament under Statute.
§ Sir W. SmithersMay I take it that these securities are invested in Government securities, and will the right hon. 1692 and learned Gentleman try to find trustee securities other than Government securities, because they will be a better security for these Funds?
§ Sir S. CrippsNo, Sir.
