Mr. A. T. DAVIESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the feasibility of extending individual holdings of War Savings Certificates beyond the present limit of £500 has been considered; whether there is any insuperable objection to such extension; whether he is prepared to recommend an increased limit; and, if so, to what amount?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINYes, Sir; this question has been considered, but for the reasons stated in the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Keighley on the 29th July last I am not prepared to agree to any extension of the limit.
