§ Mr. BurnsTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what new commemorative coins Her Majesty's Government plan to issue.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeHer Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to approve my recommendation that two special commemorative £2 coins be issued in 1995. The first of these will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the second world war and the second the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations. It is not intended that the coins should be put into general circulation, although they will be available at face value from most banks and post offices. In addition, special collector versions will be produced in base and precious metals.
