We didn't. We were told to refer to it a 'Procedure Minima' eg 'vectoring for PAR approach to runway 28, procedure minima is 'XXX', confirm decision height and intention'.
Some years later we did get 2 sets of minima when, with much fanfare, QNH based procedures were introduced. My boss and I attended a combined briefing for Odiham and Farnborugh ATC units at Odiham where the inimitable Dave Harrison from No 1 AIDU gave us a thorough rundown.
A couple of years later, after what was rumoured to be a cock up by an 'elderly gentleman' mistaking QFE for QNH, the procedures were switched back to QFE based with no 'publicity' although for some reason, Farnborough ATC didn't receive the 'change' to JSP318a where it was notified and we were not told by other means so were mystified when our aircrew suddenly started asking for QFE before departure!
NB: If you're wondering why I put 'a type of dog up' I didn't, that's what Pprune software has changed what I actually typed ('a c0ck up').
