There was a time when, as Deputy Stanley mentioned, employees were paid in cash. There was quite a bit of discontent when many employers, particularly the State, moved to paying people through their banks precisely because people guessed that the banks would take advantage of that and use it as an opportunity to gouge people with charges. Does Mr. Fielding think paying people in cash or at least giving them that option rather than having to go through the banks might be something to consider?
