§ Mr. HOUSTONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will arrange that payment of Income Tax and Super-Tax to the Treasury, and payments to other Government Departments, may be made in War Loan and Funding or Victory Bonds at the price of issue, by those who applied for these Government Securities at the time of issue and have held them continuously since allotment?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINNo, Sir. I can not undertake to introduce legislation conferring on holders of War Stocks a benefit, not given in the prospectuses of the respective issues, for which the taxpayer has received no corresponding consideration.
