HC Deb 29 April 1931 vol 251 c1626
49. Mr. THORNE

asked the Postmaster-General whether interest is paid on money deposited in the Post Office on behalf of a minor who has been awarded compensation by the court in respect to injuries sustained and covered by the Workmen's Compensation Act?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Viant)

Interest is paid at the prescribed rate on all moneys deposited in the Post Office Savings Bank. Interest would therefore be paid on money deposited on behalf of a minor who had been awarded compensation by the court.
