§ Mr. CLARRYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the total amount of the National Debt at 30th September, 1931, and the corresponding figure at 28th February, 1933.
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAFull details of the National Debt position as at the end of each financial year are given in the annual National Debt Returns. I am reluctant to publish figures relating to intermediate dates, which cannot usefully be compared owing to the discrepancy between revenue-collection and expenditure at different periods of the year.
