§ Dr. Reginald Bennettasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why it is not possible for the figures for the total amount of reserve assets in the hands of the whole of the private sector, and not just the banking sector, to be made available monthly.
§ Mr. DellOn Treasury Bills, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to his Question on 17th December.—[Vol. 902, c. 663]—Figures for the private sector's holdings of other assets, such as balances at the Bank of England and eligible commercial bills, which when held by the banking sector qualify as reserve assets, are not separately identifiable.
