Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 June 2011. It occurred during Legislative debate on Civil List.


Civil List

I take the hon. Gentleman's point about tourism and other matters that provide a net contribution, but surely under the settlement of the 1760s we cannot really consider the Crown Estate as still being owned by the royal family. It was given up so that it could produce the money for the state that it currently does. I would not look at it in the same terms as the hon. Gentleman.
