| Date | 26 Apr 1917 - 25 Aug 1927 |
| Admin History | Further funds were still needed, notwithstanding the success of the big loan (the 5% and 4% war loans, series 20A29/5 and 6) and the entry of America into the War on the 5th April 1917. A new daily issue of 5% Exchequer Bonds began on 12 Apr 1917. These bonds were repayable at par on the 1 Apr 1922 or, on three months’ notice being given by the holder, on the 1st October 1919. The bonds remained continuously on issue for about 5 months but were not a great success, and only £78,259,400 was applied for through the Bank. There was also a corresponding issue through the Post Office of Bonds in amount of £5 and above. |
