HC Deb 18 November 1969 vol 791 cc280-1W
142. Earl of Dalkeith

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will obtain reports from chief constables and publish each week the names of places where the police have discovered forged 50p coins, so that the public may be warned to exercise caution in accepting them.

Mr. Elysian Morgan

Arrangements already exist for the Metropolitan police to collate information about the counterfeiting of notes and coin in this country. I see no need at present for special publicity to be given to forgeries of the 50p coin.
