HC Deb 16 June 1994 vol 244 c647W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage how much has been raised from admission charges to Windsor castle and Buckingham palace.

Mr. Sproat

Gross income, excluding VAT, from admission charges to Buckingham palace state apartments in 1993 was £2.277 million and from admission charges to Windsor castle between 4 January and 31 March 1994 was £0.754 million. Net income from Buckingham palace state apartments and from charges for the precincts of Windsor castle go towards the cost of the restoration of Windsor castle.
