§ Mr. HAYES FISHERI regret that I cannot give my hon. and gallant Friend any later figures than those which I gave him in reply to a similar question last year, when I informed him that the total amount of the outstanding loans of the councils of cities and boroughs in England and Wales, including the City of London and other Metropolitan boroughs, was it 31st March, 1915, £281,390,000. For the figures for Scotland and Ireland I must refer him to the Scottish and Irish Departments.
