Hallmarking: Gold and Silver
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the total annual cost to public funds of the British gold and silver hallmarking system.
- Answer
-
Apart from the cost of the policy support to Ministers provided by the National Measurement Office, the UK hallmarking system imposes no costs on public funds. The British Hallmarking Council (an executive non-departmental public body) is responsible for, amongst other things, supervising hallmarking activities in the UK. It is entirely funded by the four UK Assay Offices which are also self-financing.
