HC Deb 20 January 1944 vol 396 c402W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Secretary of State for India whether it is intended to provide that Indian lottery bonds will be available for purchase in this country.

Mr. Amery

No, Sir. No useful purpose would be served by subscriptions from this country to an issue which has been specifically designed as an anti-inflationary measure to absorb surplus purchasing power in India. The Chancellor of the Exchequer provides abundant facilities for United Kingdom citizens to apply their savings to the war effort.
