§ Mr. Cartwrightasked the Secretary of State for Trade what was the average cost to the Post Office Users National Council of dealing with each of the 101 representations about National Giro services received in 1979–80; and how much expenditure he estimates will be saved in a full year if National Giro services are no longer scrutinised by the council.
§ Mrs. Sally OppenheimThe cost of dealing with representations about National Giro services cannot be separately calculated. But it is estimated that savings to the council, should National Girobank be removed from its remit, would be negligeble.
