§ Mr. WaltersTo ask the Chancellor of Exchequer (1) what representations he has received regarding the case of a £2 note;
(2) if during his recent review of English currency, he considered introducing a £2 note ; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BrookeThe idea of introducing a £2 note has been mentioned in one or two of the many responses to the review of the United Kingdom coinage. The Bank of England has also received suggestions from time to time in the past that it should issue a £2 note, but there are no plans to do so.
