HC Deb 15 February 1999 vol 325 c591W
Mr. Maclean

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer which euro notes(a) have been and (b) are planned to be printed in the UK. [70604]

Ms Hewitt

As part of the Bank of England's involvement in various aspects of Euro preparatory work, they are participating in a pre-production trial for Euro notes. The printing trials of the Euro 5 and 20 are complete and the printing trial for the 50 is under way. There are no other Euro notes planned for trialing in the UK. Notes printed as part of the trial are for analytical and comparative purposes only and will not be issued.
