§ 49. Mr. ALBERYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the £1 and 10s. Treasury currency notes will be withdrawn and replaced by Bank of England notes?
§ Mr. McNEILLNo sir. I cannot add to the answer which my right hon. Friend gave on the 9th February last to a question on this subject by my hon. Friend the Member for the Streatham Division (Sir W. Lane Mitchell).
§ Colonel DAYCan the right hon. Gentleman say if there is any likelihood of the sovereign or the 10s. gold piece coming back?
§ Sir FREDRIC WISEWill it not be necessary to settle the fiduciary issue before the amalgamation?
§ Mr. McNEILLI do not think there is any advantage at present in considering the matter, because, as my right hon. Friend said, probably it will be a long time before the matter is dealt with.
