The question
To ask the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body whether it has considered commissioning a Scottish Parliament challenge coin for members to present to hosts during official international visits and to members of visiting delegations, in light of the increasing use of such coins by legislatures and public bodies across the Commonwealth, the United States and elsewhere.
The answer
The Scottish Parliament’s International Relations Office is responsible for coordinating the purchase of gifts for presentation on both outward and inward visits. Gifts usually include Scottish Parliament branded items though as yet these have not included a challenge coin. The International Relations Office is currently reviewing the gifts available for presentation. As part of this review, the Head of the International Relations Office would be happy to discuss the possibility of commissioning a Scottish Parliament challenge coin with the Member.
