§ MR. BOTTOMLEYI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider the expediency of promoting legislation for the purpose of requiring the banks of the United Kingdom to make a return showing the total of the sums of money in their hands in respect of dormant and obsolete accounts.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE, Carnarvon Boroughs)I am not at present prepared to promote legislation for this purpose, but I am making inquiries into the matter.
