HC Deb 08 June 1944 vol 400 c1534W
Sir F. Sanderson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the continued increase in hoarding of notes and the loss sustained to the National Exchequer through the increasing volume of transactions which are taking place for cash rather than by cheque, he will consider the issuing of new Treasury notes and Bank of England notes, and cause all notes at present in circulation to be cancelled on a date to be determined by the Treasury.

Sir J. Anderson

No, Sir. I do not think such action either necessary or desirable.
