HC Deb 24 February 1942 vol 378 c33W
Mr. Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for War why soldiers on leave from Inverness for England are paid in Scottish bank notes which they cannot cash here?

Mr. Sandys

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for drawing my attention to this source of inconvenience. Orders have now been given that whenever a soldier is going on leave outside Scotland payment for the leave period is to be made in Bank of England notes.
