Proceeding contribution from Christopher Pincher (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 4 February 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Coinage (Measurement) Bill.
Coinage (Measurement) Bill
Will the coins be solid gold or mixed with baser metals? My hon. Friend might know the story that the first inflationist in our country was King Stephen, who debased the coinage in the 1140s—a rather inglorious path trod by several Governments down the centuries, notably the Attlee, Wilson and the Callaghan Governments. Will we have gold in our coins, or will they be debased?
