§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, with 606 a view to celebrate the accession of His Majesty the King, and for the encouragement of thrift, he will arrange with the Postmaster General for the transaction of the business of the Post Office Savings Bank at all rural post offices serving a population of upwards of 200 persons; and will he consider the expediency of relieving the guarantors of all money order and public telegraph offices throughout the Kingdom from further liability.
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir M. HICKS BEACH,) Bristol, W.Any suggestion as to the extension of savings bank facilities at rural post offices is a matter for the Postmaster General, but I do not think that either the first or second suggestions in the question could be connected with His Majesty's accession.
