HC Deb 17 January 1968 vol 756 c646W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will seek to introduce a distinctively designed Scottish 50 penny decimal piece.

Mr. Harold Lever:

Scottish interests. together with all other considerations, are being borne in mind in the new decimal coin designs.

Mrs. Ewing

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the new decimal coin designs have already been approved by the Royal Mint Advisory Committee: whether these coins are already being produced; and whether there are distinctive designs for Scottish coins among these.

Mr. Harold Lever:

I hope shortly to make a statement about the new decimal coin designs and I have nothing at present to add to the answer given to the hon. Member on 8th December, 1967. —[Vol. 755, c.412.]
