§ Mr. Haseldineasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will now increase the amount that can be obtained on demand from a National Savings Bank ordinary account.
§ Mr. TaverneYes. The present demand withdrawal limit of £10 has remained unchanged since 1955 and I propose to increase it to £20 with effect from 1st January, 1970. The necessary Regulations have been made and are being laid before Parliament.
