HC Deb 24 June 1902 vol 109 cc1512-3
MR. BOULNOIS (Marylebone, E.)

To ask Mr. Attorney General whether, seeing that it is the custom to deposit original powers of attorney in the Central Office of the Supreme Court of Judicature where it is filled for reference; and that, whether after such filling it is impossible for the holder to re-obtain possession, he can take steps to induce the Governors of the Bank of England to recognise the original power of attorney equally with the office copy.

(Answer.) In view of the reasons of convenience which have led to the adoption by the Bank of England of the present practice, I do not see my way to take steps to have it altered.—(Mr. Attorney General.)
