HC Deb 29 October 1975 vol 898 c533W
Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will arrange for the coinage dies to be used for the minting of coins dated 1976 onwards to omit the word "new".

Mr. Denzil Davies

Proposals to omit the word "new" from the inscriptions on the coinage are under consideration and it is hoped to make an announcement soon.
