HC Deb 08 March 1951 vol 485 c80W
Mr. Dodds

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement in regard to the proposed minting of the new coin, a five shilling piece to commemorate the Festival of Britain.

Mr. Jay

The authority of a Royal Proclamation is required for the issue of a new coin, and hon. Members will not expect me to anticipate any Proclamation.
