§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) whether he will now take steps to introduce a 25p coin;
(2) whether he will now take steps to introduce a £1 coin;
(3) whether he will reconsider the size, shape and nature of Great Britain's current coinage.
§ Mr. Denzil DaviesThe denominations and specifications of the coinage are reviewed from time to time, as is the balance between notes and coin. These reviews will continue but I have no present intention of making a change.
