§ 62. Mr. MYERSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that a Clause relating to savings and housing banks has been struck out from the Swansea Corporation Bill during the present Session by the Local Legislation Committee, and having regard to the fact that other municipalities in the country are contemplating seeking similar powers, if he will undertake to introduce at an early date a Bill to confer upon local authorities full banking powers, savings and otherwise?
§ Mr. BALDWINThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. My right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer cannot undertake to introduce legislation on the subject.
