asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total expenditure on Treasury bill interest in the financial years 1950–51, 1951–52, 1952–53; and his estimate for 1953–54.

Mr. R. A. Butler

The figures for the first three years mentioned are £24,736,000, £29,593,000 and £82,024,000 respectively. It is too early to give an estimate of the figure for the current year.
