§ Mr. LESLIE SCOTTasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that the Controller of the Money Order Department is unable or unwilling to inform investors in war savings certificates of the number of certificates that are to their credit; and will he take steps to secure that periodical 1405W statements of the number of certificates purchased by or for an individual shall be made easily available to the purchaser or the nominee?
§ Mr. PEASESuch information can be given to any purchasers of War Savings Certificates who can furnish some particulars as to place and date of purchase, but to establish and maintain a system of periodical statements such as the hon. Member suggests would necessitate expenditure on clerical labour on a scale too great to be undertaken. The number of separate certificates issued up to date is nearly 100,000,000, which are in the hands of several million purchasers.
