Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 September 2026

Debate

Sovereign Grant Bill

Contribution

The royal family have buildings, which are of some age, all over the country, and by their nature there is deterioration due to their size, the heating, the roofs, the way the buildings are and the length of time they have been in existence. Does the Minister agree that, when it comes to the responsibility of the royal family to look after these buildings, further consideration must be given to those that are showing years—maybe hundreds of years—of deterioration?
