§ Mr. Swinglerasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the average period of time between the receipt of applications for the payment of Post-war Credits and the making of the payments.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterAbout 10 days. The majority of cases take no more than a week, but in exceptional cases, such as those where there were frequent changes of employment, it may take considerably longer to trace all the necessary records. Payment has now been made in the particular case about which the hon. Member wrote to me recently.
