Mr. Perkins
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider minting a 1½d. coin?
Sir J. Simon
Suggestions for the issue of such a coin have been considered from time to time, but have been rejected. Apart from practical difficulties, it would not appear generally convenient to increase the present number of denomination of coin in use or to substitute the proposed coins for an existing coin.
