Sir Richard Body
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the cost to the United Kingdom of minting coins for the euro if the United Kingdom adopts the single currency according to the specifications currently before the European Council. [5394]
Mrs. Liddell
The Chancellor has not made any estimate of the cost of producing euro coins if the United Kingdom were to adopt the single currency. The costs would depend on detailed specifications of the coins beyond the scope of the proposal from the European Commission.
