HC Deb 21 June 1920 vol 130 c1786W
Mr. LUNN

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if the figure of £13,000,000,000 as the total post-war wealth of individuals given in the Board of Inland Revenue Memorandum on War Time Increases of Wealth includes private wealth in the form of war loan investments?

Mr. BALDWIN

The figure of £13,046,000,000 given in column 5 of Table II on page 18 of the Memorandum referred to represents, as indicated by the heading of the table, an estimate of the total post-war wealth of those individuals whose total wealth has increased since June, 1914. It does not include the post-war wealth of individuals whose total wealth has not increased. For the individuals concerned, the estimate includes private wealth in the form of war loan investments at their market value on the 30th June, 1919.
