Proceeding contribution from Angela Eagle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 6 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scottish Banknotes (Acceptability in United Kingdom) Bill.
Scottish Banknotes (Acceptability in United Kingdom) Bill
The hon. Gentleman has quite rightly taken the House through the narrow definition of legal tender, and he has come to the right conclusion about why that is not the answer to the problem that he seeks to solve. Does he also agree that many goods are paid for in non-legal tender—including debit cards, credit cards, PayPal and travellers cheques—as a matter of routine with no problems of acceptance? Clearly, the area of legal tender is not the place to look for a solution to the problem that he has outlined.
