asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, as part of the Management Information Services Statistics, records are kept in local offices of his Department regarding the number of Giro files outstanding each month, and the number of new Giro files opened each month; and if he will give the numbers of such Giro files outstanding in each months of 1977 so far, and similiarly, the number of new Giro files opened each month, in, respectively, the Holloway and St. Pancras local offices of his Department.

The Management System does not oblige local offices to maintain separate records of files relating to Giro-cheques, but managers can arrange for records for local or regional purposes. There is some information which can be provided for one of the Holloway offices and for St. Pancras and I will write to the hon. Member.
