§ 36. Mr. Sydney Chapmanasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, when the total value of premium bonds held reaches £1,000 million, he will mark the occasion by awarding a compensatory amount to those holders of bonds bought within the first year of the scheme operating who have not won any prize subsequently.
§ Mr. NottNo. Special concessions to particular holders of premium bonds would be contrary to the concept of the premium bond scheme, in which all holders accept the distribution of prizes on a random basis.
