HC Deb 23 January 1978 vol 942 c470W
Mr. Wrigglesworth

asked the Secretary of State for Wales when his Department's banking business was last put out to competitive tender.

Mr. John Morris

The Welsh Office uses the private banking system only for the acceptance, and transmission to the Bank of England, of receipts for the credit of the Department's accounts with the Paymaster-General. Quotations from local banks were last sought for this service in June 1976.
