HC Deb 12 March 1929 vol 226 c982
38. Mr. WELLOCK

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Government savings bank of Jamaica is patronised to a reasonable extent; and whether it is a financial success?

Mr. AMERY

I have not received any complaints with regard to the working of the Jamaica Savings Bank and I believe that the facilities which it offers are appreciated. The bank is not, of course, maintained principally with a view to profit, but I observe from the latest report that the profit on transactions for the year 1926 amounted to £4,395.
