HC Deb 09 January 1978 vol 941 c671W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland to what extent his Department makes use of Giro facilities what is the estimated annual value of such Giro transactions; and what regular consideration is given to extending the use of Giro.

Mr. Millan

My Departments make about 100,000 Giro payments to a value of about £3 million a year, and all money due to the departments may be paid by Giro transfer. We have encouraged the use of Giro wherever possible; for example, for the payment of rents and rates to local authorities.
