HC Deb 13 February 1917 vol 90 cc442-3
49. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

asked what national emblems have been introduced into the design of the new £1 Treasury notes?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The rose, the thistle, the shamrock and the daffodil appear in the watermark.

Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether they are visible to the naked eye, and in what manner they can be discovered?

Sir W. ESSEX

To what part of the Kingdom does the daffodil belong?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I understood it was regarded as the emblem of one part of this island, but I am not an authority on the subject. As regards the question of my hon. Friend (Mr. M. Scott), they can be seen by the naked eye, for I have seen them myself.
