§ MR. DE COBAIN (Belfast, E.)asked the Postmaster General, Whether, with a view to the greater usefulness of the Post Office Savings Bank, he would undertake to bring in a Bill, during the present Session, to extend the limit of amount that can be legally deposited therein within any current year, and also to extend the limit of amount that may stand to the credit of any depositor in the said Post Office Savings Bank?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HENRY H. FOWLER) (Wolverhampton, E.)(who replied) said, that the Postmaster General was not at present able to give any undertaking in regard to this matter. A proposal of this kind was introduced into the last Parliament, and he might remind the hon. Member that it was strongly opposed on both sides of the House. The subject would, however, receive his consideration.
