Congratulations to Clydesdale Bank plc
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Clydesdale Bank plc, the largest issuer of banknotes in Scotland, on producing the first fully polymer banknote to go into circulation in Great Britain; understands that the limited edition £5 note is being produced to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the opening of the Forth Bridge and its nomination for UNESCO World Heritage status; notes what it considers the striking images of the bridge that are featured on the note alongside a portrait of Sir William Arrol, whose company was responsible for the bridge’s construction, and understands that the introduction of a polymer note continues Clydesdale Bank’s long history of innovation in banknotes and that, as well as lasting between two and three times longer than paper, the note also includes a number of new security features that help prevent counterfeiting.
