(asked on 26th January 2015) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the total value was of the pensioner bonds that were issued in the recent sale of those assets.
This question was answered on 3rd February 2015
The 65+ Bond remains on sale, and NS&I are taking thousands of transactions every day. The Government made £10bn worth of the bond available. This policy was a huge success - £1,150m of these bonds were sold in the first two days, to over 110,000 pensioners. The information on how many bonds were sold in the 2014/15 year will be made available in NS&I’s annual report.
