§ Mr. Skeffingtonasked the Secretary to the Treasury why his Department insists upon the receipting of warrants when salary warrants of civil servants are paid into banks.
§ Sir E. BoyleCivil servants who are not paid in cash and who do not have their salaries paid into their bank account by credit transfer are normally paid by payable order. These payable orders are not cheques and are not therefore subject to the provisions of Section 3 of the Cheques Act, 1957. It would he difficult to exempt a particular class of payee such as civil servants from the general requirement of endorsement of payable orders.
