Mr. Willis
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware of the disadvantages arising in Scotland in connection with the remittance of notes and specie to and from London; and is he prepared to make arrangements for the establishment of an agency of the proposed National Central Bank to be established in Edinburgh to avoid the considerable expenses at present involved.
Mr. Dalton
I shall be glad to consider any evidence which my hon. Friend may care to send me regarding the disadvantages to which he refers. But I anticipate that, if it were proposed to establish a branch of the Bank of England in Edinburgh, controversy would arise.
