§ Mr. Haseldineasked the Postmaster-General what response he has received from firms to his invitation to suggest improvements either in general or in relation to the particular needs of business for the National Giro Service.
§ Mr. Edward ShortThe invitation has been warmly received by the business community and the general public, and discussions have already been held with a wide range of institutions about the way in which the National Giro can meet their needs. I have had no proposals from firms to alter the basic facilities to be provided and, in general, the flexibility of the system is proving to be adequate to meet the demands which business concerns expect to place on it. I have, however, received a good many valuable suggestions about special features of the system which particular organisations require.
