The Sovereign Grant Act 2011 (c. 15) is the Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which introduced the Sovereign Grant, the payment which is paid annually to the Monarch by the Government. It was the biggest reform to the finances of the British Royal Family since the inception of the Civil List in 1760. == Background == (詳細はKing George III agreed with Parliament that he was no longer to govern in person, and therefore was no longer entitled to income from the Crown Estate, which for 700 years had always been used for the administration of the state. Parliament granted a fixed annual income from the Civil List. The resulting system required the annual State expenditure on the Monarchy to be decided by the Treasury and presented to House of Commons. Prior to abolition, the Civil List was fixed at £7.9 million annually for the decade 2001-10, the same amount as in 1991, with the reserve being consumed over the decade. In 2011 the Civil List was raised to £13.7 million. There were four funding sources: * The Civil List paid by the Exchequer * The Grant-in-Aid for Royal Travel paid by the Department for Transport * The Grant-in-Aid for Communications and Information paid by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport * The Grant-in-Aid for the Maintenance of the Royal Palaces paid by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sovereign Grant Act 2011」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
