HC Deb 14 March 1963 vol 673 c186W
68. Mr. J. Bennett

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why he will not introduce legislation to make Scottish banknotes legal tender.

Mr. du Cann

In view of the number of different Scottish bank notes (there are at least 20 different types) I do not think that such legislation would be welcomed by the majority of the residents of Great Britain. In principle, there is much to be said for one set of notes circulating as legal tender as at present.
