§ 68. Mr. Douglas Marshallasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider instructing the banks to close temporarily on Saturdays to save fuel transport and eyesight.
§ Mr. DaltonNo, Sir. The saving would be negligible, and there would be great inconvenience to the public.
§ Lieut.-Commander BraithwaiteIn view of the fact that paying-in at banks in variably takes place during the hours of the electricity restriction, would the right hon. Gentleman consider classifying banks as essential services?
§ Mr. DaltonI should have to think about that.
