HC Deb 05 December 1912 vol 44 c2485
58. Captain FABER

asked whether many firms employing a large number of hands whose wages are an even number of shillings experience difficulty in adjusting the coins in consequence of the provisions of the National Insurance Act; and whether he will consider the desirability of minting a new coin of the value of 8d., which could be paid to employés from whom 4d. has to be deducted each week?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I have no sufficient evidence that the minting of a new coin of the denomination suggested is necessary or desirable.
