asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for each year from 1977, how many submissions of suspect gold, silver and cupro-nickel coins were made to establish whether they were counterfeit or not; what v./as the result of the examinations; what were the metals used in the counterfeit pieces; and how many prosecutions have taken place.

Mr. Bruce-Gardyne
