§ Mr. WISEasked the Under-Secretary of State for India what the Indian Government is charged by the Bank of England for the management of their sterling debt?
§ Earl WINTERTONSince 1906 the charges have been at the rates shown in the Home Accounts of the Government of India (vide page 81 of the Accounts for 1921, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy). In 1920 a new register for the transfer of stock by deed was opened. For this a supplementary charge will be payable, which remains to be fixed as experience is acquired of the additional cost entailed in maintaining the new register.
