I am informed by the National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) that the value of prizes in respect of prize bonds, and these prizes as a percentage of total prize bonds outstanding at year-end, for each of the last five years, are as set out in the following table.

The Prize Bond Company has provided this data to the NTMA. The table also shows the actual rates applicable each year, as this gives a truer reflection of actual rates payable.
