HC Deb 27 November 1969 vol 792 cc131-2W
Mr. Edward M. Taylor

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the total monthly sum being invested in the National Savings Save As You Earn scheme; and how many persons have committed them elves to participate in it.

Mr. Taverne

Up to 22nd November the Department for National Savings reports 92,835 contracts with a total first contribution of over £627,000. For the Trustee Savings Banks in the first month there were 19,300 contracts with a total contribution of £141,000. We cannot yet assess the response from industries operating deductions from pay schemes.
