§ 78. Mr. FELLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can give any information respecting the £1 notes purporting to have been issued by the British Government which are said to be in circulation in Germany; and if he knows anything of the origin of such notes or how they are supposed to have reached Germany?
§ Mr. McKENNAI have no official nor authentic information on the point, but I understand that it has been stated in the Press that British currency notes are finding their way into Germany.
§ Mr. FELLIs the Treasury making any inquiry in Holland or in other places respecting this suggestion?
§ Mr. McKENNAI have no means of inquiring with regard to Germany.
§ Mr McKENNAIf the hon. Gentleman asks me my personal opinion upon the point, I very much doubt if there are any of these notes in Germany.
