§ Mr. Spriggsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will consider publishing a White Paper in each financial year showing the amount of new national savings in the area covered by each National Savings Committee and listing the various areas in order of merit judged by the amount of savings per head of population.
§ Mr. Harold LeverThis would not be practicable, since local figures are not available for all areas and even where they are available, are necessarily of gross savings only, i.e. they do not include repayments. Comparison of gross figures can sometimes be misleading.
