asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what were the amounts of war indebtedness, internal and external, as at the 31st March or 5th April, 1922, whichever date may be more suitable: and what were the separate total amounts of War Loans, War Bonds, War Savings Certificates, etc., issued against the same and as at that date?

My hon. Friend will find the information he requires in the Internal Debt Return, House of Commons Paper No. 21, of 1922, and the External Debt Return, Command Paper 1648, of 1922.
