HC Deb 07 April 1998 vol 310 c150W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer from what sources metals for the single currency coinage will be acquired; and what environmental impact assessment has been undertaken in respect of that acquisition. [37789]

Mrs. Liddell

The principal metals planned to be used for the euro coinage are steel and copper. As these metals are in plentiful supply, no significant environmental impact is expect to arise from the demand forecast to be generated by the euro coinage.
