§ MR. CATHCART WASON (Orkney and Shetland)To ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if, in view of the fact that shells are now illegal currency in the Uganda Protectorate, he will substitute a coin of as nearly as is possible the same value, and holed.
(Answered by Earl Percy.) The introduction into the Uganda Protectorate of new copper coins representing decimal parts of the rupee is dealt with in the Draft Order in Council providing for a new currency, which is now before the Commissioner. The possibility of holing the coinage has not been lost sight of.
