§ Mr. Barstowasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the figure of £17,750,000 represents the total amount of the outstanding holdings of the United Kingdom of pre-war Greek Government loans.
§ Sir J. AndersonThe figure of £17,750,000 given in the reply which I made to a Question by the hon. Member on 19th December represents the total nominal value of the estimated holding in the United Kingdom of these loans, and not the total amount of these loans at present outstanding, which is larger. 671W I take the opportunity to add with reference to the reply which I gave on 19th December that while the United Kingdom holdings of the Greek Loans issued in the last war are smaller than the United Kingdom holdings of the Reconstruction Loans, the outstanding amount of the loans issued before the last war is larger in the aggregate than the outstanding amount of the later Reconstruction Loans.
