Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the latest cost estimate for the refurbishment of Buckingham Palace.
The official business of The Queen, including the current reserving of Buckingham Palace, is primarily funded through the Sovereign Grant. This is paid from the Consolidated Fund, but calculated by reference to The Crown Estate's profits (currently set at 25%). In return, The Crown Estate's revenue profits are paid into the Consolidated Fund.
