§ 38. Mr. Waddingtonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in view of the recent letter received by Mrs. Ramsden of 2 Willow Close, Carr Hall, Barrow-ford, near Nelson, from the Director of the National Savings Bank informing her that due to industrial action a warrant for withdrawing money could not be issued, he will ensure that payment of money is not again refused and that in the event of further industrial action by staff issuing warrants other means of repayment will be immediately put into operation.
§ Mr. NottI regret the delay in issuing this warrant. It has now been issued, as have all other such warrants delayed by industrial action. Normal withdrawal on demand services at post offices continued to operate, and special arrangements were made at National Savings Bank headquarters to deal with cases causing special hardship.
