§ 41. Mr. DAYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the price paid to the Royal Mint for the medals which were struck at the Royal Mint to the order of the British Empire Union to commemorate Empire Day, 1928; what was the cost of making them; and what was the profit derived on this transaction?
§ Mr. A. M. SAMUELAs I informed the hon. Member for Bridgeton (Mr. Maxton) on the 13th June, the prices quoted by the Royal Mint for these medals were fixed on the basis of a fair profit. For reasons which should be obvious to the hon. Member it is not customary to publish the details of individual transactions.
§ Mr. SAMUELI think so, if they pay a proper price for them.
