§ 32. . Sir F. Medlicottasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that British subjects who bought National Savings certificates in Egypt during the war are now unable to cash these certificates in England; if he is aware of the inconvenience and concern which this ruling is causing; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. PowellAll applications for repayment of certificates which have been received by the Post Office have been met in full; but my right hon. Friend the Postmaster-General will examine any particular cases which my hon. Friend has in mind.
§ Sir F. MedlicottCan my hon. Friend give an assurance that there is, in fact, no question at all but that these certificates are freely and readily encashable, as, indeed, all securities issued by the Brutish Government should be at all times and in all places?
§ Mr. PowellCertainly.
