Sir F. WISE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amount of money deposited in the savings banks on the 1st January, 1923, and the amount on the 1st January, 1924?

Mr. SNOWDEN

The amounts due to depositors were approximately as follows:

1st Jan., 1923. 1st Jan., 1924.
£ £
Post Office Savings Bank 268,100,000 273,000,000
Trustee Savings Banks 75,500,000 79,400,000
£343,600,000 £352,400,000

The increase is more than covered by the accrued interest for 12 months on the deposits.
