Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what additional expenditure he is incurring in connection with the Coronation.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

The additional expenditure which will be incurred by my Department in connection with the Coronation is estimated at £1,200. In addition, the Exchequer grant for police services has been augmented by sums estimated at £21,000 for 1952–53 and £80,000 for 1953–54, to provide for police expenditure incurred on the erection of barriers, mutual aid and other incidental matters.
