Are runway designators not mandatory readback items too? (Sorry edited to say I have just seen the previous posts - doh!)

Heathrow Delievery, Muffdiver 69 Bravo Juliet with Information Alpha, Runway 27 Left, QNH1012, Stand..... yawn.......
Seriously though, I have been to some NATS units were I have quoted the ATIS and QNH on start and then I get told the QNH on taxy which is the same as I mentioned prior to start. I queried it 'off air' once and the response I was given was that it is a MATS Part 1 requirement to pass the QNH with taxy clearance.

If you want us to read the QNH on start up then I personally do not have a issue with that but why can't we have ATC units singing off the same hymn sheet?
