HC Deb 19 April 1983 vol 41 cc77-8W
29. Mr. Viggers

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many of the payments made by his Department are cashable in post offices.

Mr. Newton

All social security benefit payments made by books of orders or uncrossed girocheques are encashable at post offices. During 1981–82 over 950 million order book foils and over 100 million girocheques were cashed at post offices.
