HC Deb 10 March 1953 vol 512 c95W
57. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer his estimate of the total expenditure of all Government Departments in connection with the Coronation.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Coronation Estimates totalling £925,000 (net) have been presented to the House. In addition, it is estimated that rather more than £1 million will fall on ordinary Votes in connection with the Coronation (mainly on Service Votes and on the Votes of the Education Departments).
