§ Mr. H. WILLIAMSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can state, approximately, the amount of Government securities held by companies, corporations, the National Debt Commissioners, the Post Office Savings Bank, and other public Departments or Commissioners?
§ Mr. R. McNEILL:My predecessor gave an estimate of the amount held by Government Departments on 31st March, 1925, in a reply to a question by the hon. Member for Ilford (Sir P. Wise) on 15th July last, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy. I regret that later information as regards Government Departments is not available. I have no information as regards companies and corporations.
