64. Mr. Mapp

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the number of gold coin collectors approved by the Bank of England under the Exchange Control (Gold Coins Exemption) Order, 1966; and what was the number disapproved and the average number of gold coins held by the disapproved applicants.

Mr. Diamond

659 applicants have been given permission to retain gold coins, and 2,147 both to maintain their collections and to add to them. 783 applications have been refused; but the number of gold coins held by them is not known.
