§ Mr. BOWENasked the Postmaster-General if he will make a statement as to the effect on public facilities of the proposed Post Office Savings Bank Amendment Regulations recently laid upon the Table of the House?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHThe first facility proposed under the new Regulations is the extension from £2 to £3 of the limit for withdrawals on demand. The second is the removal of the prohibition of dual accounts, so that in future a depositor will be able to hold more than one account in the Post Office Savings Bank and also to hold an account in a Trustee Savings Bank as well as in the Post Office Savings Bank.
