HC Deb 25 July 1972 vol 841 cc250-1W
47. Mr. Ewing

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will advise Her Majesty's Inspector of Taxes to make all refunds of income tax, presently paid by bank cheques, by Giro cheque in future.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

No. The present method of issuing crossed payable orders has substantial cost and administrative advantages without causing inconvenience to the payee. He can, if he so wishes, use a Giro account.
