HC Deb 18 June 1900 vol 84 c401

[SECOND READING.]

Order for Second Reading read.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir ROBERT FINLAY,) Inverness Burghs

The object of the Bill is that money which is obtained in certain cases may be in-vested in the Post Office Savings Banks, That is the procedure under the Act of 1897. If the money is not invested in some such way it is very apt to be squandered by those who get the control of the money. Under these circumstances this is a Bill deserving of attention, and I hope the House will be content to take the Second Reading.
