HC Deb 23 November 1971 vol 826 c298W
32. Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the total invested in National Savings in the first half of 1971–72: and how this compares with previous years.

Mr. Maurice Macmillan

The increase in the amount invested in National Savings in the first half of 1971–72 was £242 million and this was by far the best result recorded in the comparable period for at least 20 years.
