asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an estimate of the value of national property, including R.N., Army, R.A.F., G.P.O., lands and buildings, coalmines, electricity, transport, etc., and local government property, lands and buildings, public utilities, undertakings, etc.

I fear that enormous labour, which I am not prepared to have undertaken, would be involved in any attempt to compile an estimate such as the hon. Member suggests.
