HC Deb 29 November 1937 vol 329 c1704W
Mr. R. Robinson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will explain the nature of the calculations leading to the decision to increase the fiduciary issue from £200,000,000 to £220,000,000 rather than to any other figure?

Lieut.-Colonel Colville

The additional figure is, of course, a round figure estimated to be adequate and suitable in the circumstances of the approaching Christmas demands.
