Pound Notes Tallow

One of UK's leading umbrella groups for Hindus has said the Bank of England has assured them that concerns over the use of animal fat in the new five-pound notes were being treated with "utmost seriousness" and the new 20 pound notes would be launched only after consultations.

A number of Hindu temples in Britain have banned the new 5 pound note after it emerged that it contained animal fat.
