HC Deb 05 July 1883 vol 281 c470
MR. O'DONNELL (for Mr. KENNARD)

asked the Postmaster General, Whether it is true that a notification has been issued to the employés in the Post Office Savings Banks containing these words:— The solicitor being of opinion that Mr. Ramsay's name cannot be used for any official purpose after his decease, all documents must in future be stamped with the signature of the Assistant Controller?

MR. FAWCETT

Sir, as I stated last week, on the authority of the legal adviser to the Post Office, no possible inconvenience can result to the depositors from the printed forms to which the hon. Member refers having been used. On the attention of the solicitor being directed to the subject, he thought it would be right that the name of the Assistant Controller should be stamped on the forms until a new appointment to the office of Controller was made, and, therefore, the Order mentioned in the Question was issued.
