HC Deb 29 March 1922 vol 152 c1362W
Sir W. DAVISON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether war savings certificates which were taken out five years ago, and have been left to accumulate for a further period with the interest which has accrued, will be entitled to run on for a further like period and at like rates of interest as new certificates taken out before the end of the current month?

Mr. YOUNG

A 15s. 6d. certificate accumulates to £1 in five years, and to 26s. in 10 years. After that it can continue to be held if and so long as a holder holds a 15s. 6d. certificate of later date, and, if so held, earns interest at 1d. per month. The latest date up to which a 15s. 6d. certificate tan earn interest will thus be 31st March, 1932.
