§ Sir C. OMANasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will take measures to withdraw as rapidly as possible from circulation the discoloured coins of the issues of 1922 to 1925, whose brown, yellow, or red patches display more clearly every month the unsatisfactory character of the alloy with which the silver was blended?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENThere are arrangements in force by which worn or defective coin can be exchanged for good coin on presentation at the Mint, and I think this is sufficient.
