HC Deb 02 May 1887 vol 314 cc547-8
MR. HOWELL (Bethnal Green, N.E.)

asked the Postmaster General, If he is in a position to state whether the Government are prepared to introduce a Bill with the view of affording increased facilities for depositors in the Post Office Savings Banks?

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)

I am already in communication with the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon the subject to which the hon. Member refers. At present, however, I have hardly, as yet, received that sufficient evidence of a desire on the part of hon. Members to support a measure to carry out the changes suggested to which I alluded in my reply to the hon. Member for East Donegal (Mr. A. O'Connor) on February 17 last.
