Sovereign Grant Asked by: Chris Law (Scottish National Party - Dundee Central) Friday 10th July 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what factors she considered when considering the level of the core element of the Sovereign Grant. Answered by Lucy Rigby - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury) The 2026 Review of the Sovereign Grant by the Royal Trustees was conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Sovereign Grant Act 2011, which requires the Trustees to review the percentage used in the Sovereign Grant calculation formula. In determining the appropriate percentage for the Sovereign Grant calculation formula, the Royal Trustees considered a range of factors. These included: how the Grant had been utilised since the previous review; the Royal Household's expected costs over the period 2027-28 to 2031-32, including planned maintenance work on the Occupied Royal Palaces, replacement of ageing legacy systems to strengthen cyber security, and work to install energy-efficient heating systems; and the expected future level of The Crown Estate's revenue account profit. The Trustees also took account of the fact that funding would no longer be required for the Buckingham Palace Reservicing Programme. The Royal Trustees determined that a reference rate of 20.5 per cent was appropriate for the funding formula. The legislation the Government is bringing forward proposes to apply this percentage in calculating the Grant for 2027-28, resulting in an annual Grant amount of £99.9 million, compared with £137.9 million in 2026-27.
Royal Family: Official Residences Asked by: Chris Law (Scottish National Party - Dundee Central) Friday 10th July 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make it her policy that income from ticket sales for entry to royal palaces is received by the Treasury. Answered by Lucy Rigby - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury) As set out in the Sovereign Grant framework agreement, the Royal Household seeks to optimise income from non-Treasury sources where this is consistent with the main functions of the Sovereign Grant. In line with this, it charges the Royal Collection Trust for the use of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle for public admissions. This income is used to supplement the Sovereign Grant to support official activities, reducing the requirement for public funding.
Foreign Influence Registration Scheme Asked by: Chris Law (Scottish National Party - Dundee Central) Friday 17th July 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the consistency of scrutiny applied under the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme to Russian-linked institutions compared with institutions linked to other foreign states. Answered by Angela Eagle - Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs The Government remains alert to the risk that foreign states may seek to use a range of organisations (including religious and cultural centres), proxies and influence networks, to advance their objectives in the UK. The Foreign Influence Registration Scheme (FIRS) supports transparency around activity directed by foreign states. We have placed Russia and Iran on the enhanced tier of FIRS, requiring those carrying out any activity in the UK at the direction of the Russian or Iranian states to register or face criminal penalties. The Government is focused on ensuring compliance with FIRS, including referring cases to the police where we believe a criminal offence has been committed. There will be an annual report on the operation of the scheme, including total numbers of registrations under the enhanced tier, which will be published later this year. More recently, the Home Secretary has introduced a new designation power enabling her to designate bodies involved in foreign power threat activity, including state-linked proxies and affiliated structures. The UK has also imposed extensive sanctions in response to Russia's aggression against Ukraine, including sanctions against Vladimir Gundyayev (Patriarch Kirill), the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, for his public support for and endorsement of Russia's invasion.
