§ Mr. R. Gibsonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has considered the inconveniences attending the use of the hexagonal shaped three penny pieces, especially for conductors of omnibuses during the black-out; and whether he will consider not making a further issue of such three penny pieces?
1061W
§ Sir J. SimonI have received no such complaints of inconvenience from the use of the twelve-sided three penny piece. My information is that the use of this coin has been found an advantage to the conductors during black-out hours because it can easily be identified by touch, and I see no reason to stop its issue.
