HC Deb 02 October 1941 vol 374 cc740-1W
Captain Plugge

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in connection with his scheme for allowing places which have raised the requisite sum to adopt one of His Majesty's ships, whether he proposes to publish periodically what has been done in this respect so as to encourage imitation by others?

Sir K. Wood

Yes, Sit.

Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the sums subscribed to the War Savings Campaign by the West of England; and how the effort in this part of the country compares with similar efforts in other parts?

Sir K. Wood

The figures required to provide an answer to the Question are not available at the moment, but I will circulate in the Official Report at an early date a table showing the amounts of small savings per head for the urban areas in the West of England and in other parts of the country. Figures for rural areas could not be similarly tabulated without undue expense and labour.
