HC Deb 20 November 1952 vol 507 c182W
52. Mr. Fletcher-Cooke

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much he estimates it would cost to repay the post-war credits to the estates of those who, but for previous death, would have reached the age for payment in the current financial year.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

£2 million. If those who would have reached the age for payment in previous years are included, the cost would be £15 million.

58. Wing Commander Bullus

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in order to encourage house ownership, he will consider allowing the use of post-war credits as security for deposit on new houses.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

No.
