asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what number of holders of National Savings Certificates have invested therein an amount greater than £2,500; what an amount less than £2,500 but greater than £1,000; what an amount greater than £500 but less than £1,000; and what number an amount less than £500?

No person is entitled to hold National Savings Certificates of a greater nominal amount in the aggregate than £500, except in certain cases of inherited certificates and of certificates specially issued in payment of War service gratuities. Statistics of the numbers of individual holders are not available.
