They also provide that the Secretary of State may at his discretion, and provided that the liquidator or trustee requests this, authorise payments out of the Insolvency Services Account by electronic means.\nThe Regulations also change the address of the Bank of England to which postal payments are to be sent to Threadneedle Street, London EC2R 8AH.\nA Regulatory Impact Assessment is available copies of which have been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament. Copies are also available from The Insolvency Service of the Department of Trade and Industry, P O Box 203, Room 5.1, 21 Bloomsbury Street, London WC1B 3QW.",
