HC Deb 03 December 1946 vol 431 c30W
53. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will set up a mint in South Wales where large quantities of nickel are available, for the purpose of manufacturing the new cupro-nickel coins and to provide increased employment in this special area.

Mr. Dalton

I regret that this would not be practicable at present.

Sir W. Darling

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will set up a mint in the city of Edinburgh for the manufacture of cupro-nickel coins, in view of the fact that there was formerly a mint in that city.

Mr. Dalton

No, Sir.
