§ Mr. ROWLANDSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can state when a further payment may be expected by the depositors of the National Penny Bank?
Mr. RUNCIMANThe Chancellor of the Exchequer has asked me to reply to this question. A further payment will be made to the depositors of the National Penny Bank, Limited, immediately sufficient cash has been realised. I am unable at present to fix any definite date for a further distribution, but the realisation of the assets is proceeding satisfactorily.
