26. Mr. Lipton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the sixpence coin will be withdrawn from circulation.

Mr. Nott

The future of the 2½p coin after the end of its trial period on 15th February, 1973 will be decided and announced early in the new year. The Royal Mint is currently engaged in collecting and collating the views of the public and representative organisations.
