HC Deb 08 April 1919 vol 114 c1850
56. Mr. RENWICK

asked whether there is any obligation upon bankers to make periodical returns of the unclaimed balances and deposits of cash and of plate or other valuables in their possession or custody; if so, what are the periods at which such returns have to be made; and whether there is any period at which it is obligatory on bankers to give notice of their possession of such unclaimed balances and other valuables to the next-of-kin of the depositors or to the Treasury?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The answer to all parts of the question is in the negative.

Mr. RENWICK

Are we to understand that no returns would be made or called for in the cases mentioned in the question?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No returns are made.
