HC Deb 30 April 1991 vol 190 cc146-7W
Mr. Simon Coombs

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he plans to change the aims of national savings.

Mr. Maples

Yes. I have decided that the following national savings aims should apply for 1991–92To attract personal saving as required by the Government's funding policy. To encourage the saving habit among a wide range of people. To give our customers a good, prompt and friendly service. To market a range of products, with particular emphasis on encouraging longer-term saving.

Staff are to meet these aims within resource levels decided by Ministers and with the continuing objective of improving economy, efficiency and effectiveness.
