HC Deb 27 June 1972 vol 839 c281W
36. Mr. Hayhoe

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is satisfied with public support for National Savings; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Higgins

We greatly welcome the continuing improvement in public support for National Savings. In the 12 months to the end of May, 1972, the total amount invested increased from £8,860 million to £9,694 million—an increase of £834 million or about 9½ per cent.
