Mr. J. Enoch Powellasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer from whom, apart from the Lord Chamberlain's Office, the Royal Mint sought views on the use of Her Majesty's effigy on the commemorative plaque ordered in connection with the projected visit of the Pope to Great Britain.
§ Sir Geoffrey HoweI refer the right hon. Member to the answer I gave on 11 November—[Vol. 12, c.82–83]. In this case the Royal Mint obtained confirmation that its client had consulted the Lord Chamberlain's office and no objection had been raised to the design proposed by its client for use on the plaque. Thereafter, the Royal Mint's decision to accept an order to manufacture the plaque was taken on commercial grounds.
