§ 48. Mr. Wainwrightasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has now reached a decision on whether to grant permission to the Trustee Savings Banks to have a cheque-book system.
§ Mr. BarberYes. The Trustee Savings Banks Association has been informed that the Government would not stand in the way of the passage of a Private Member's Bill promoted by the Trustee Savings Banks, provided it adheres to the basis which the Association has always accepted, namely that the scheme should not impose any financial burden on the Exchequer.
