HC Deb 16 January 1945 vol 407 c49W
Mr. Hammersley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, with a view to discouraging the hoarding of currency, he will make it illegal to settle transactions, other than those between the retailer and his customer, over £10 if paid for in cash.

Sir J. Anderson

No, Sir. I do not think such legislation could be made effective.
