Following extensive consultation, the Maundy Purse - traditionally containing coins for distribution by Her Majesty the Queen to well-deserving pensioners - will consist of large foil-wrapped chocolate coins from Marks and Spencers, it was announced today.
"This move confirms this government's commitment to taking stuff away from the old and ill but dressing it up to look like they are getting a better deal", a spokesperson for Number 10 confirmed.
