HC Deb 28 November 1972 vol 847 cc63-4W
25. Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will repay war stock at par to original owners over the age of 60 years.

Mr. Nott

No, Sir. This is not for lack of sympathy for any original holders who may be suffering hardship, but because the Government are forced to the conclusion that any scheme for partial redemption of war loan would be inequitable.
