CIVIL LIST REVIEW

Early day motion 123, tabled 2 June 2010 by Julian Huppert (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 38 members.

That this House is opposed to any increase in the Civil List while public spending is being cut and until Royal finances are subject to the same standards of accounting, auditing and reporting as all other public finances; and calls for an immediate freeze on Civil List payments and for an urgent and independent inquiry into Royal finances, with a view to reducing the overall cost of the Monarchy to well below the current estimated bill of between £100 million and £200 million a year.

Signatures by party: Labour 27, Liberal Democrat 8, Green 1, Plaid Cymru 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
