HC Deb 12 August 1889 vol 339 c1009
MR. JUSTIN M'CARTHY (Londonderry)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has heard any complaints as to the management of the Limavady Savings Bank, to the effect that moneys are paid out sometimes without authority from those whose names are registered as the depositors, and that moneys are lodged in the names of persons without their knowledge, with the object of enabling individuals to have large sums of money in the bank and at their disposal under various names; and, whether he will order some inquiry to be made?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.

No complaints have reached me in regard to the management of the Limavady Savings Bank, nor is the matter one which would come under the cognizance of the Irish Government. The Commissioners of the National Debt are the controlling authority in the case of Trustee Savings Banks. The Treasury presumably answer for the Commissioners in this House.
