HC Deb 19 February 1891 vol 350 c1072
MR. HOWELL (Bethnal Green, N.E.)

I had intended to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the failure in February, 1889, of the "Bethnal Green Bank," in which the deposits amounted to a total of or about £10,000; whether he has been informed that the effects of the bankrupt, Mr. T. F. Braybrook, and the estate of the "Bank" realised the sum of £4,000; whether any portion of these assets have been distributed to the depositors; if so, how much; and, if not, will he explain for what reason; and whether he can inform the House what the total costs of the bankruptcy proceedings have been, and what amount is left for the depositors? At the request of the right hon. Gentleman, I beg to postpone the question until Monday.
