§ Mr. DOBBIEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will state the amount of the National Debt on 1st January, 1932, and the amount of the debt at the present time?
§ Mr. W. S. MORRISONFull details of the National Debt position as at the 31st March, the last day of our financial year, are given in the annual National Debt Returns. Figures relating to intermediate days in the year are not published as they do not afford a basis of comparison between one year and another. I am sending the hon. Member a copy of a reply which my right hon. Friend gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Southampton (Mr. Craven-Ellis) on the 18th June last, in which he will find such figures as are available brought together.
