§ Mr. Malcolm MacMillanasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much of the Greek National Debt is held by bondholders in this country; what are the rates of interest; and from what years the bonds are dated.
§ Mr. du CannIt is not possible to say what proportion of the Greek external bonded debt is held by bondholders in this country as the bonds are in bearer 13W form. The outstanding capital debt denominated in sterling amounts to roughly £60 million, of which it is safe to assume that a substantial part is held by British bondholders. Information about rates of interest and dates of issue is to be found in the Annual Report of the Council of the Corporation of Foreign Bondholders, and I am sending the hon. Member the relevant material from this publication.
