Mr. M. MacmillanI regret that detailed information for the whole period is not available. Quarterly statistics of local authorities' gross and net borrowing by type and by period to maturity have been collected from the beginning of 1961, however, and are published each month in "Financial Statistics". In addition, information about the composition of loan debt outstanding at the end of the financial year has been collected for 1955 and for each year from 1958. These figures have been published in articles in "Economic Trends" in January 1960, February 1961 and January 1962, and for 1962 and 1963, in the November 1963 issue of "Financial Statistics".
