HC Deb 14 December 1944 vol 406 c1364W
Mr. Driberg

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in order to check the Continental black market in sterling, the domestic black market in goods, and Income Tax evasion, he will consider calling in bank notes of all denominations and making a completely new issue.

Sir J. Anderson

While not unmindful of the considerations which the hon. Member has in mind, I do not think the action which he proposes is either necessary or desirable.
