§ MR. ATKINSON (Boston)I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will allow other London Joint Stock Banks to tender for the business of Her Majesty's Government as well as the Bank of England?
§ *MR. GOSCHENIf there were other Joint Stock Banks with capitals of £16,000,000 sterling, and if the Bank of England were unreasonable, the question of competition might arise, but I do not believe in the double event.
