HC Deb 03 February 1955 vol 536 c134W
57. Mr. Page

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to now withdraw his Department's request to bankers not to cash, for their customers, cheques drawn upon other bankers.

Mr. H. Brooke

I do not think it advisable to withdraw this request. I am not sure whether my hon. Friend realises that the present practice is of real value in countering tax evasion.
