NUMISMATIC COIN ISSUES IN THE DEPENDENT TERRITORIES
Report of the Bank of England Dated 26 January 1978
Thank you for your visit to the FCO yesterday
and for taking the trouble of going through the abovementioned Rerort
with me so that we could decide on a framework of a summarised version
which we wish to circulate to all Officers Administering Governments
of Overseas Territories. I now attach a re-draft based on our
discussionon which I should like to make the following comments.
2.
I am none too happy with section (iii) of
I THE REASONS FOR THE SURVEY and wonder if those comments should
not be inserted elsewhere in theSummary.
3.
Insofar as the detailed recommendations in Section
III are concerned (paragraphs (a) to (m)) these may need expanding
in nearly all cases. I had some difficulty here since in each case
the recommendation has been followed with quite a long piece setting
out its drawbacks. I think we should aim at setting out our
recommendations and our reasons for preferring such course of action.
Please do not hesitate to re-write the draft
4.
if you find that to be preferable.
(N Farrell (Miss))
