HC Deb 18 March 1953 vol 513 cc1-2
1. Commander Donaldson

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General what instructions have been given to his officers in England as to the acceptance of Scottish bank notes for the payment of the purchase of savings certificates, postal orders, stamps, etc.

The Assistant Postmaster-General (Mr. David Gammans)

Instructions are to accept them.

Commander Donaldson

While thanking my hon. Friend for his answer, may I ask him if he will consider the encouragement of a more general acceptance of Scottish bank notes by placing in post offices a notice saying, "Scottish bank notes accepted here"?

Mr. Gammans

They have never been refused. My hon. and gallant Friend is asking me to do something which is really unnecessary.

Mr. G. Jeger

Are they accepted at their full value of 20s. or at a discount?

Mr. Gammans

They are accepted at their full value.
