Proceeding contribution from Tristram Hunt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Sovereign Grant Bill.


Sovereign Grant Bill

The guidance to the Bill suggests:"““The Crown Estate is not the sovereign's private property””." However, we know that in 1760, as the guidance states, George III"““surrendered these revenues (but not ownership of the capital assets)””." Where do we stand on the clarity of ownership?
