£1,909.4 million, on 26th October, 1964.

Mr. Pounder

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the total number of persons who currently have sums invested in 3½ per cent. War Loan at the last convenient date.

Mr. MacDennot

No information is available on the total number of persons currently holding 3½ per cent. War Loan. The total number of accounts held on all registers is approximately 1.1 million, but some holders have more than one account and some accounts are in the names of more than one person. There is also a small amount held in bearer form.

Mr. Pounder

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many persons who currently have sums invested in 3½ per cent. War Loan have held their current holdings for a period in excess of 12 years.

Mr. MacDermot

I regret that this information is not available.
