To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many and what proportion of all purchases of premium bonds made in the last financial year were under the value of (a) £100, (b) £1000 and (c) £10,000.

According to National Savings and Investments (NS&I), in the 2023/24 there were:

• 4,520,011 Premium Bonds sales under the value of £100, which equates to 32.3% of all Premium Bonds sales.

• 12,991,219 Premium Bonds sales of under £10,000, which equates to 97.4% of all Premium Bonds sales.

This does not include the value of any prizes that were reinvested into Premium Bonds.
