HC Deb 28 June 1944 vol 401 c728W
Mr. Lipson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proportion of overseas investments held by this country in 1938 has not yet been sold.

Sir J. Anderson

It would be safe to say that we retain more than one-half of our 1938 overseas investments, including those in the British Commonwealth, but I regret that it is not possible to make any close estimate.
