Sovereign Grant Act 2011

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This Act replaced the old 'Civil List' system by creating the 'Sovereign Grant', a set amount of public money given to the Crown each year to pay for royal palaces, staff, and official duties. The funding is based on the Crown Estate's profits, so the amount can go up or down depending on royal property earnings.
