HC Deb 13 February 1930 vol 235 c579
21. Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Home Secretary whether any forged notes of foreign origin have been detected in this country within the last six months, and, if so, what; and whether their source of origin has been traced?

Mr. CLYNES

So far as can be ascertained, none have been detected.

Mr. SOMERVILLE

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman if there is any truth in the statement which appears in the Press that a large proportion of these forged notes are manufactured in Russia?

Mr. SPEAKER

The right hon. Gentleman cannot be responsible for what appears in the Press.
