§ MR. DAWSONasked the Postmaster General, Whether he will apply the savings of the people of Ireland deposited in the Post Office to the promotion of works of a reproductive and profitable nature in that Country?
§ MR. FAWCETTIn reply to the Question of the right hon. Member, I may state that the funds deposited in the Post Office Savings Banks are vested by Act of Parliament in the National Debt Commissioners. The only control I have over them is to receive the deposits, repay them when demanded, and secure the interest being properly credited to the depositors' accounts.
