Decimal Currency System

HC Deb 17 February 1961 vol 634 cc178-9W

Mr. du Cann

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he now proposes to introduce a decimal currency system.

Mr. Barber:

This is a very important question which requires and is receiving the fullest consideration by the Government. I cannot make any statement on the subject at present but hope to do so later on in the year.
