§ Mr. NEEDHAMasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will make arrangements by which dollar bonds and shares of less than 5,000 dollars minimum in any one issue may be received on loan by the Treasury?
§ Mr. McKENNAAt present the minimum amount of securities accepted by the Treasury under the deposit scheme is 2933W 5,000 dollars (or £1,000) nominal value. I am, however, considering whether arrangements can be made to enable holders of smaller amounts to take advantage of the deposit scheme.
