Clause 201
Banking Bill
6:15 pm
Stewart Hosie (Spokesperson (Economy; Home Affairs; Treasury; Women); Dundee East, Scottish National Party)
I am confident that the regulations and the rules will cover matters such as standard size, security features and the weight of notes. I know that the banks have been lobbying hard regarding concerns that they had in the early stages of consultation. Will the Minister confirm—we will cheer if she does—that the Government do not intend to have a single note of each denomination? Will they continue to allow limited edition notes, which are valuable for many reasons, to be issued, as long as they meet all the rules and regulations that will cover all notes?
