HC Deb 18 May 1953 vol 515 c102W
64. Mr. M. Lindsay

asked the Minister of National Insurance whether he will arrange a supplementary Coronation benefit for those who have been in receipt of sickness benefit and National Assistance for more than 12 months, in order that they may be able to participate in the general rejoicing.

Mr. Turton

My right hon. Friend does not think there are sufficient grounds for singling out these particular people for a special bonus.
