HC Deb 14 February 1924 vol 169 c1039W
Mr. G. WHITE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amount, as on 1st January, 1924, of British Government stocks held by owners not domiciled in the British Isles?

Mr. SNOWDEN

The external debt of this country is approximately £1,000 millions of which the greater part is due to the United States Government. It is impossible to say to what extent ordinary British Government stocks are held outside this country.
