§ Mr. Stanleyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will combine the green and red application forms for the national savings index-linked save-as-you-earn, third issue scheme so that those taking application forms from the Post Office cease to be kept in ignorance of the fact that it is possible to make payments into the scheme by means of a banker's order.
§ Mr. DellNo. A combined version of the SAYE form providing for payment through the Post Office or a bank would slow down operations in the SAYE office and lead to increased costs. Separate forms are available at banks for payment by bank standing order and at post offices for payment in cash or through national Giro. The existence and location of the two types of form will be emphasised in future in the information leaflets available at post offices and banks.
