asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he has any information as to the extent to which industry has availed itself of facilities for obtaining fresh capital as announced by him at Manchester?

Yes, Sir, every day I find evidence of a quickened interest in industrial reorganisation resulting from the statement as to the attitude of the City which I made on 10th January, but the hon. Member will appreciate that I am not in a position to give information as to negotiations which are in progress.
