HC Deb 20 May 1992 vol 208 c180W
Mr. Peter Bottomley

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the designs of £10 and £20 notes, with particular reference to the indication of their denominations.

Mr. Nelson

The design of Bank of England notes is the responsibility of the bank. It advises that each denomination is a different size, carries identifying numerals, words and colours as well as, in the new series, a distinctive bold symbol on the front of each note specifically to assist the partially sighted and the elderly.
