HC Deb 14 March 1963 vol 673 cc198-9W
95. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for War what is the average weekly cost of maintaining the guard at Windsor Castle; and what proposals he has for reducing it.

Mr. Profumo

The cost to the Army of maintaining the guard at Windsor Castle is the cost of transporting it from Pirbright: this is about £80 a week. In a few months time I expect the guard to be provided once again from a unit stationed in Victoria Barracks, Windsor. There will then be no extra cost in maintaining the guard.
