Trade Union Funds (Post Office Savings Bank).

HC Deb 20 July 1911 vol 28 cc1403-4W

Mr. HODGE

asked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has recently been drawn to the case of a branch of a trade union which lodged money in the Post Office Savings Bank in the names of three trustees, without making it a society account, and to the fact that the branch is now unable to withdraw the money because one of the trustees has lapsed his membership of the branch and refuses to sign the withdrawal form; and whether anything can be done to remove the difficulty?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The matter was settled on the 12th instant by the issue of a warrant to the two remaining depositors.
