§ 85. Mr. Buchanan-Smithasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what plans he has to increase the capacity of the Mint 266W to take account of the change-over to a decimal currency; whether he is satisfied that the present site of the Mint is adequate; and if he will establish the Mint in Scotland, in the interests of regional development.
§ Mr. DiamondThis whole question is at present under active consideration. I hope to be able to make a statement shortly. The claims of Scotland will be borne in mind along with those of other areas.
