HC Deb 20 October 1952 vol 505 c61W
103. Mr. Lewis

asked the Minister of National Insurance whether he will make arrangements for old age pensioners to receive a supplementary grant during Coronation week to enable them to celebrate this historic event.

Mr. Peake

I do not think there are sufficient grounds for singling out old age pensioners, who by next June will number nearly 4¾ million, for a special bonus from the Exchequer.
