Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by the Earl of Courtown on 28 January (HL444), how much money each member of the Royal family received from the Duchy of Lancaster in the last financial year; whether any such money was for Royal or private purposes; and whether any such funds are tax deductible.
The Government does not hold this information as income from the Duchy of Lancaster forms part of The Queen's private income. It is largely used to meet official expenditure incurred by Her Majesty and other members of the Royal Family which is not met by the Sovereign Grant, and is taxed to the extent that the income is not used for official purposes.
