§ 55. Sir C. OMANasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that a Standing Committee appointed to act in an advisory capacity to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in connection with the artistic side of the currency of this realm, has now existed for several years, and that no single change has yet been made in the aspect of the currency of this realm since their appointment, he intends to alter the present set of reverse types introduced in 1911; and will he take measures to secure an Order in Council for that purpose?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI am not aware of any general desire to change the existing coinage designs, but when the advisory committee have any definite changes in design to suggest I am quite ready to consider them.
§ Sir C. OMANHas the right hon. Gentleman ever heard anybody express any appreciation of the style of the present coin?
