§ Sir G. Mitchesonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in order to facilitate lending to the State, he is prepared to authorise the increase up to £1,000 of the amount which an individual may deposit in the Post Office Savings Bank in a calendar year?
§ Sir K. WoodI do not think that any increase in the limit on deposits in the savings banks is needed at the present time in view of the facilities for continuous subscriptions to National Savings Certificates, Defence Bonds and National War Bonds. I will, however, keep the question under review.
