HC Deb 26 November 1946 vol 430 c241W
60. Mr. Osborne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in view of the fact that the average net sales of National Savings Certificates for September, 1946, was £105,000 per week, or 2 per cent. of the average weekly sales for 1943, and the expenses in salaries and printing were nearly 30,000 per week, or about 30 per cent. of the money raised, if he will consider handing over the savings movement to the Trustee Savings banks and the voluntary associations and, putting the 1,190 paid officials back into productive industry.

Mr. Dalton

No, Sir.
