Mr. Alan WilliamsTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what accommodation is designated for members of the royal family excluding Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Phillip at Holyrood house; what accommodation is available for their staff; and how costs are allocated between the occupants and his Department.
§ Sir Hector Monro[holding answer 1 February 1994]: My right hon. Friend is responsible for the entire cost of the maintenance of the fabric of the palace, for security and for the cost of utilities such as fuel and telephones. All other costs are met by the royal household, which is also responsible for the allocation of accommodation within the palace. I understand that no accommodation is allocated to any particular member of the royal family.
