HC Deb 01 February 1966 vol 723 c186W
52. Mr. Ridsdale

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many prospective prizewinners will now get nothing as a result of his proposal to have a first prize of£25,000 on premium bonds.

Mr. Diamond

In the four monthly draws which include the£25,000 prize there will be about 1 per cent. fewer prizes than would otherwise have been the case, the exact figure will depend on the size of the prize fund.
