§ Dr. CHAPPLEasked the Postmaster-General, whether any Return of the position of the various Post Office Savings Banks in the United Kingdom has been issued since 1895; and, if not, whether he will consider the advisability of issuing a Return periodically?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Herbert Samuel)No complete Return of this nature has been prepared since 1895, as the cost of compiling that Return, which was considerable, was not justified by its value. I do not consider it advisable to issue such a Return periodically.
