HC Deb 11 November 1912 vol 43 cc1758-60W
Mr. RUPERT GWYNNE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the figures specified on 6th November as the maximum sums on deposit and loan to certain borrowers from the cash balances of the Government of India during the past year also represent the total sums advanced during the year to each firm, respectively?

Mr. H. BAKER

The figures specified on 6th November represent, in accordance with the terms of the hon. Member's question of that date, the maximum sum held on any one date in the preceding twelve months from the cash balances by any bank or approved borrower who on 6th November was holding any sum forming part of the £8,950,000 mentioned in the question. They do not represent the total of the successive loans granted to and repaid by the various firms during the year.
