HC Deb 01 June 1893 vol 12 c1762
MR. A. C. MORTON

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether his attention has been called to the fact that, in accordance with Article 16 of the Treaty of Union between Scotland and England, the Scottish Mint at Edinburgh was to be continued; and if, as the Scottish Mint no longer exists, he can say whether the Government intend to carry out and maintain Article 16 of the aforesaid Treaty?

SIR G. TREVELYAN

The provision in Article 16 of the Treaty of Union for the continuance of the Scottish Mint at Edinburgh was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act of 1867, and the Article as now in force only provides that the coin shall be of the same standard and value in Scotland and England alike.
