HC Deb 12 November 1959 vol 613 c589

If you wish to have your holding redeemed at par on the 1st December, 1932, you must notify your wish to the Bank of England not later than the 30th September, 1932, on the Pink Form C.

In this case the Pink Form must be completed over the signatures of all the Holders in the account concerned (unless a "demand" to act by a majority under the Government Stock Regulations, 1918, as amended by the Government Stock Regulations, 1929, has previously been made and recorded in the books of the Bank) and returned to the Bank, accompanied by the relative Register Certificate(s) where the Stock is registered as "Transferable by Deed".

GENERAL

If by the 30th September, 1932, you have not completed and sent to the Bank of England either the Blue Form or the Pink Form, you will be deemed under the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1931, to have accepted the offer to continue your holding in the Loan subject to the conditions set out in the Announcement marked A.

If you hold Stock on more than one account, separate Forms are being sent to you for each account. Only one account may be covered by each Form.

Stock of the £5 per cent. War Loan, 1929–1947, acquired after the 30th June, 1932, will not be added to an existing account. For such Stock new accounts will be opened in the books of the Bank of England: and if such an account is opened not later than the 30th September, 1932, special Forms of Request for Continuance and Redemption Forms will be sent by the Bank.

In the case of holdings which are to be redeemed the Books of the Stock will be finally closed on the evening of the 30th September, 1932, and such holdings will cease to be transferable at the close of business on that date.

If you are in any doubt how to complete the forms you should consult your Banker, Stockbroker or Solicitor, or you may obtain advice and assistance free of charge on personal application at any Bank or Banking Office, even though you do not keep an account there.

Chief Accountant's Office,

Bank of England,
