HC Deb 06 May 1898 vol 57 c532
MR. HOGAN

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the present and potential capabilities of the Dominion of Canada as a gold producer, any steps are in contemplation for the establishment of a local branch of the Royal Mint?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir M. HICKS BEACH,) Bristol, W.

No application for the establishment of a Canadian branch mint has been officially made to Her Majesty's Government.
