HC Deb 25 July 1988 vol 138 c104W
Mr. Gale

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he expects to increase the interest rates paid on income bonds in line with interest rates in the private sector.

Mr. Lilley

The rate of interest on income bonds, like all national savings rates, is kept under review in the light of the Government's borrowing needs, as well as the trend in interest rates in the economy generally.
