§ Sir J. Mellorasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why Tax Reserve Certificates were not available for purchase on 1st January, 1943; and what steps he has taken to provide a remedy for this omission?
§ Sir K. WoodThe Bank of England like the other Banks was closed on the 1st January, and no Government Securities were issued bearing that date. As at present advised I see no reason for making any exceptional arrangements for the benefit of investors in Tax Reserve Certificates outside the favourable terms accorded to them in the prospectus of the issue.
