HC Deb 19 December 1938 vol 342 c2493W
Rear-Admiral Beamish

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury when it was decided that £500 in one year should be the limit for an individual depositor in the Post Office Savings Bank; and whether he is prepared, by legislation or otherwise, to increase the limit to £1,000?

Captain Wallace

The limitation to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers was laid down by Treasury Order in 1923. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
