§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what has been the increase in the amount of Treasury notes since the extra cheque tax of 1d. came into operation on 1st September, 1918, as compared with the similar period prior to this date?
1392W
§ Mr. BALDWINThe increase in the issue of currency notes (including currency note certificates) in the twenty-five weeks following the 1st September, 1918, was £44,936,241. The increase in the twenty-five weeks preceding 1st September, 1918, was £47,154,920.
§ Mr. GILBERTasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been drawn to the similarity of the last 10s. Treasury notes issued to the existing 20s. notes; and whether in the issue of any further 10s. notes he will consider the desirability of issuing them in colours quite distinct and different from the 20s. notes?
§ Mr. BALDWINThe hon. Member will be aware that certain changes in the colouring of the last issue of 10s. notes have already been made. My right hon. Friend will consider if any further change is needed in the event of a new series being issued.
