HC Deb 22 February 1940 vol 357 c1562W
Mr. E. Smith

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will give in the Official Report a list of the United States securities taken over by the Government, showing the value of such securities and the acquisition price paid by the Government?

Captain Crookshank

The list of the United States securities acquired by the Treasury, together with the acquisition price, has been published as Statutory Rules and Orders No. 213, which is available at the Vote Office. The acquisition price was the equivalent in sterling of the closing price in New York on the date of the making of the Order.
