HC Deb 17 October 1946 vol 427 cc242-3W
77. Mr. De la Bère

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether with the advent of the new coinage, steps will be taken to increase the number of 1s. pieces made available to the public, in view of the inconvenience which is now experienced in obtaining the necessary number of shillings for the slot meters, etc.

Mr. Dalton

There is no general shortage of shilling pieces. Supplies are available to the banks if local shortages arise.
