HC Deb 26 June 1902 vol 110 cc150-1
MR. M'GOVKRN (Cavan, W.)

To ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that a woman, named Mary Reilly, of Carrickaluce, Ballyconnell, county Fermanagh, Ireland, had a sum of £12 in the Post Office Savings Bank at the time of her death on the 27th March, 1902, and that the postal authorities have refused to give any information to the friends of this woman as to what was going to be done with this money; and will he direct that this money shall be paid to the next of kin of Mary Reilly.

(Answer.) There is no reason to suppose that the late Mary Reilly, of Carrickaluce, Ballyconnell, had an account in the Post Office Savings Bank. The supposition of her friends that she had such an account appears to have been due to a misapprehension.—(Post Office.)
