HC Deb 03 December 1969 vol 792 cc316-7W
Mr. Barnett

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the total amount of 31 per cent. War Loan issued; and what is the amount estimated to be in the hands of original purchasers or their heirs.

Mr. Taverne

The amount issued was £1,920,804,243; it would not be possible without disproportionate expenditure of effort to say how much is still in the hands of original purchasers or their heirs.
