§ Mr. Cartwrightasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to enable viewers holding National Giro accounts to pay their television licence fees by automatic debit transfer.
§ Mr. MayhewNo, because the National Giro automatic debit transfer system is not compatible with the computerised television licensing system. Giro account holders can pay for their licences by Giro transfer at no cost to themselves.
