HC Deb 31 March 1976 vol 908 c495W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why the 1975 accounts of the Duchy of Cornwall have not yet been published, in accordance with the Act of 1838; and whether he will take steps to expedite publication.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

The Accounts of the Duchy of Cornwall for the year ending 31st December 1975 will be laid before both Houses of Parliament as required by the Act of 1838 as soon as possible. Some time is needed after the end of the year for the preparation of the accounts for audit, their submission to, and examination by, the auditor and printing of the audited accounts.
