HC Deb 05 February 1997 vol 289 c607W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage how much has been raised for the restoration of Windsor castle by the admission charges to Buckingham palace. [14047]

Mr. Sproat

I understand from the royal collection department, which as a department of the royal household is responsible for these matters, that the latest audited figures for the three years to 31 March 1996 show that a total of £8,127,000 has been raised from the summer opening of the Buckingham palace state apartments.
