"That it is expedient to authorise the Charge upon the Central Fund or the growing produce thereof of any sums paid to the Savings Certificates (Interest Charge Equalisation) Fund under any Act of the present Session to charge and impose certain duties of Customs and Inland Revenue, including Excise, to amend the law relating to Customs and Inland Revenue, including Excise, and to make further provisions in connection with Finance."
This Resolution is necessary before the clause in the Bill which provides for the funds to meet the interest accruing on Savings Certificates can be taken in Committee. I have already in the Budget statement explained the need and the reasons for the establishment of this fund. The amount of debt owing in respect of Savings Certificates is already considerable. It is a growing amount and it would not longer be possible to allow the interest to accumulate without at the same time accumulating a fund to meet it. It is intended for the future to have a sufficient amount put aside each year to meet any interest which is to accrue in that year and which has not been paid. It is also intended gradually to wipe out the accumulated sum which has not already been provided for by means of some extra provision in each year.
