§ 50. Mr. McGOVERNasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is prepared to abolish all Scottish banknotes and substitute notes of legal tender which will be fully accepted in England and Wales?
§ Mr. McGOVERNIn view of the inconvenience caused to many travellers from the North arid the fact that the right hon. Gentleman has already declared that these Scottish notes are not legal tender, will he riot substitute for them a universal note to be accepted all over Britain?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI wish not unnecessarily to affront Scottish opinion, but the hon. Member is no doubt aware that the Bank of England notes for £1 and 10s. are legal tender in Scotland.
§ Mr. GUYMay I ask my right hon. Friend how he justifies the position in which Bank of England notes are legal tender in Scotland and Bank of Scotland notes are not legal tender in England?
