HC Deb 21 July 1936 vol 315 c249
53. Mr. WATKINS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total value of Bank of England notes issued by the Bank of England since 1914 whch have never been presented for payment?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

This information is not available, and I regret that a disproportionate amount of time and labour would be necessary to obtain it.

Mr. WATKINS

Has the right hon. Gentleman any idea of the total amount involved in this money, which rightly belongs to the Treasury, as representing the community, and not to the Bank of England?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I cannot add anything to what I have said.
