§ Mr. Tim SmithTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what gilts have been brought in by the Bank of England in each month from April 1988 to February 1989.
§ Mr. LilleyThe most recent and comprehensive figures for official transaction in gilts are contained in table 8 of the February 1989Bank of England Quarterly Bulletin. (These figures are published on a quarterly rather than monthly basis).
It is not the practice to give information on the particular stocks involved in these transactions on grounds of market sensitivity.
