	uin	HL2640
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2016 answer text <p>The War Bonds referenced in HL2303 were largely held by British citizens, and originally sold by the government as a way to support the war effort. One of these, the 3½ War Loan, was the most widely held gilt, with more than 120,000 holders at the time of redemption, of which 97,000 held less than £1,000 nominal. The Treasury does not hold detailed information on the identity of underlying individuals or organisations who own gilts. In any case, information relating to who may have received payment in respect of the redemption of these gilts is not reflective of who may have originally contributed to the war effort as the bonds have been freely traded in the intervening period. However, I can confirm that £2.3 million was repaid to registered holders with an address in the United States (0.09% of the total amount outstanding at the time of redemption).</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 08/11/2016 15:56:41 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham
