Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Wales to what extent he is consulting the College of Arms on the design of souvenirs to be sold at the Investiture of the Prince of Wales.

Mr. George Thomas

The design of souvenirs is a matter for the manufac- turers. It will be for them to consult the College of Arms about the accuracy of any heraldic devices which may be used on the souvenirs.

Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what official souvenirs he is approving for the Investiture of the Prince of Wales; and what fees are being charged.

Mr. George Thomas

I hope that an official commemorative medal will be struck by the Royal Mint. This medal will be on sale to the general public. The details will be announced later.

Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Wales to what extent photographers will be allowed to take photographs of the Investiture of the Prince of Wales at Caernarvon.

Mr. George Thomas

The facilities usually available on such occasions will be provided.

Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Wales to what extent he is giving assistance to private enterprise to supply souvenirs for sale at Caernarvon Castle on the occasion of the Investiture of the Prince of Wales.

Mr. George Thomas

I am not giving private enterprise any financial assistance to supply souvenirs.
