§ MR. HOWELL (Bethnal Green, N.E.)I beg to ask the Postmaster General when the new Regulations relating to the Post Office Savings Banks will be laid upon the Table of the House?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES,) Cambridge UniversityThe subject to which the hon. Member refers has not been lost sight of; but I have thought it well to postpone the introduction of any further regulations until opportunity has been given to observe the working of the regulations which were laid on the Table of the House last year, in order to see what alterations in matters of detail may be most desirable. The hon. Member called my attention towards the close of last Session to the inconvenience likely to be caused by one of the regulations respecting the signatures of Trustees of Friendly Societies. Arrangements have consequently been made under which withdrawals from the funds of Friendly Societies can be effected on the signature of two Trustees.
§ MR. HOWELLCan arrangements be made whereby Members of the House can have copies of the new regulations?
§ MR. RAIKESI will inquire: I should be very glad if that could be done.
