Banks (Balance Sheets)

HC Deb 10 June 1974 vol 874 c419W

Mr. Cant

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will direct the Bank of England to require the banks to submit balance sheets to the Government, in place of the limited statistical information which they are present make available.

Mr. Dell

No. I am satisfied that the Bank of England can obtain access to any information it needs from the banks it supervises.
