Birmingham Municipal Bank Regulations, 1960
The Report of the Bank Committee that was presented to the City Council on June 14th 1960, included the following:
 
AMENDMENT OF REGULATIONS
 
The Government have issued a Statutory Order applicable to the Post Office Savings Bank and Trustee Savings Banks which has the effect of suspending the limitation on the amount of annual deposits and raising the limit on deposits in the aggregate from £3,000 to £5,000, as from the 2nd May 1960.
 
Your Committee consider, and HM Treasury agrees, that certain alterations should be made to relevant Municipal Bank Regulations. Accordingly, new Regulations have been prepared entitled 'The Birmingham Municipal Bank Regulations, 1960', which it is proposed shall operate on and from the 14th June 1960.
 
The principal effects will be:
 
    (a)  to increase from £3,000 to £5,000 the limit on the aggregate amount standing to the credit of an account in Depositors'  Department No. 1;
 
    (b)  to suspend the limit on the amount which may be deposited in or credited to an account in the Depositors' Department No. 1 in  any Municipal Bank year;
 
    (c)  to define the conditions under which the limit shall not prevent the making of certain classes of deposit;
 
    (d)  to define certain deposits which are ignored in computing the amount of the account for the purpose of the limit;
 
    (e)  to increase the amount which may be withdrawn on demand from £30 to £50;
 
    (f)  to increase from £1,000 to £2,000 the limit on the aggregate amount standing to the credit of an account in Depositors'  Department No. 2.
 
Your Committee recommend that, subject to the approval of HM Treasury and the Registrar of Friendly Societies, the Birmingham Municipal Bank Regulations, 1960, which have been framed to give effect to the foregoing matter be prescribed in the form now submitted.
