§ Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Postmaster-General whether he will consider amending the regulation which restricts to a maximum of £500 the sum which may be deposited by a client at the Post Office Savings Bank in one year; and why such a restriction is now imposed?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI have been asked to reply. The effect of the restriction is to prevent the use of the Savings Banks by large depositors for whose benefit they are not intended, and I see no case for increasing the present limit.
