§ 54. Mr. Wallaceasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what instructions are given to British consulates and embassies with regard to assistance to be given to United Kingdom citizens who cannot readily exchange Scottish bank notes abroad either for Bank of England notes or foreign currency.
§ Mr. WhitneyThis contingency is not specifically envisaged in our posts' instructions. Although our posts 485W would not normally undertake to change money, consuls may, when it is necessary to avoid undue hardship to British travellers, accept any sterling notes as security for an equivalent advance in local currency.
