§ Mr. William Edwardsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider seeking powers to finance certain undertakings by nationalised industries by means of issuing special bonds saleable to the public.
§ Mr. Harold LeverNo. I do not believe special bonds would necessarily attract additional domestic savings to the public sector. I see no advantage, therefore, in departing from present methods of domestic borrowing to finance the nationalised industries.
