In June 1930, the Army Savings Association was constituted. The official method of savings chosen was the Post Office Savings Bank (Deduction from pay) Scheme under the aegis of the National Savings Movement. The Royal Air Force followed suit and formed an Royal Air Force Savings Association with similar conditions. The Royal Navy also set up Post Office Savings Bank facilities by allotment and remittance from pay. In 1940, HM Forces Savings Committee was formed to cover all National Savings arrangements for the three Services and generally meets once a year. |
