§ 1. Subject to the preparation and passage of the necessary order, the yearly sums proposed for Her Majesty's Civil List will be about £7.9 million. This is the simple average 305 of the estimated annual provision over the period 1991-2000. Provision, in round terms, for Her Majesty is as follows:
Her Majesty's Civil List | |
£ million (rounded) | |
1991 | 5.9 |
1992 | 6.2 |
1993 | 6.6 |
1994 | 7.0 |
1995 | 7.5 |
1996 | 8.0 |
1997 | 8.5 |
1998 | 9.1 |
1999 | 9.8 |
2000 | 10.4 |
79.0 | |
£7.9 million a year |
§ 2. The annual estimates are arrived at by adopting the 1990 Civil List of £5.09 million, allowing for necessary current and capital expenditure on information technology, and increasing the total by 7.5 per cent. a year. The result for each year is then adjusted downwards by a percentage factor each year to reflect efficiency.
§ 3. The proposed yearly sums for the other members of the royal family have been calculated consistently with the approach adopted for the Queen's Civil List.
§ The sums are:
£ million | |
The Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother | 0.64 |
HRH The Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh | 0.36 |
HRH The Duke of York | 0.25 |
HRH The Prince Edward | 0.1 |
HRH The Princess Royal | 0.23 |
£ million | |
HRH The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon | 0.22 |
HRH Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester | 0.09 |
HRH The Duke of Kent | 0.63 |
HRH Princess Alexandra | |
HRH The Duke of Gloucester | |
2.52 |
§ As the Queen has agreed to continue to refund the annuities made under section 3 of the Civil List Act 1972, the annual net cost to the Consolidated Fund for the other members of the royal family is thereby reduced to £1.88 million.
