§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Natioal Heritage how much of the £2.50 that members of the public are being charged to view the fire-damaged rooms at Windsor castle will go to its restoration fund; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BrookeVisitors to the state apartments at Windsor castle are currently being charged a reduced admission fee of £2.50 instead of the normal adult charge of £4 because some rooms are temporarily removed from the public route as a result of the fire. Visitors view only in passing the areas damaged by fire. Admission fees continue to be used for the conservation, presentation and administration of the royal collection.
