HC Deb 21 May 1969 vol 784 c96W
70. Mr. Pounder

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to authorise the acceptance of Northern Ireland bank notes as legal tender in any part of the United Kingdom.

Mr. Harold Lever

Except in wartime bank notes other than those issued by the Bank of England have never been legal tender. I see no reason to make a change.
