Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to his Department's announcement entitled New pound coin goes global with rollout to British overseas nations, published on 6 January 2019, if he will list which authority in each of the Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies that will be responsible for commissioning new £1 coins.

We are committed to our Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies around the globe. Enabling them to design and mint their own versions of the iconic new £1 coin is a demonstration of that commitment.

Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies will now be able to apply to the Royal Mint for permission to produce their own 12-sided pound coins. It is for the coin issuing authority in each of the Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies to seek permission, if they wish to do so.
