Mr. Alan Lee Williamsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the rôle of National Savings in the new economic situation and what steps he is taking to strengthen the appeal of National Savings.
§ Mr. Harold LeverThis has been a good year so far for National Savings, but the new situation makes it even more necessary that savings of all kinds should continue to grow to help finance investment and moderate consumption. I am sure that the whole National Savings Movement will respond with renewed vigour and enterprise to the challenge, and I shall certainly keep under review the provision of the right supports for their efforts.
