HC Deb 22 February 1966 vol 725 c45W
22. Mr. Dempsey

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why he refuses to make the Scottish bank note legal tender.

Mr. MacDermot

Except in wartime bank notes other than those issued by the Bank of England have never been legal tender. My right hon. Friend sees no reason to make an exception now in favour of Scottish bank notes.
