§ MR. SEXTONI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury why Irish depositors in the Government savings banks are obliged to give seven days' notice for withdrawal of sums of £10 and upwards?
§ MR. JACKSONI think the hon. Member, in speaking of Government savings banks, is in error. I presume that he refers to Trustee savings banks, whith are not "Government savings banks." The withdrawal of deposits in such banks is governed by the rules of the banks, and the practice is not identical—in some cases a longer, in others a shorter, notice is required—but the matter is entirely within the discretion of the Trustees, by whom the rules are framed.
§ MR. SEXTONCan the Postmaster General say what notice of withdrawal is required?
§ *MR. RAIKESI will find out and let the hon. Gentleman know.
