24. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTTasked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East whether deposit contributors in Glasgow, who have never received a deposit contributor's book and who wish to transfer to an approved society, have often to wait for months after applying before their cards are returned, and thus, in many cases, lose benefit to which they would be entitled if the transfer were effected more expeditiously: and whether he will take steps to remove the cause of these complaints?
§ Mr. W. BENNA deposit contributor who is accepted as a member by an approved society is at once entitled to claim benefit from the society under the usual conditions. If my hon. Friend will furnish me with particulars of any ease of delayed payment I shall be glad to make inquiries.
