经济危机,英国女王也受穷 The Queen has used up £6m from the cash reserve to boost the civil list. The amount is the largest ever drawn from the reserve of surplus cash from the list. Palace officials have complained that they lack funds to properly maintain some royal residences. They once claimed that part of the facade of Buckingham Palace was in such bad repair that a chunk fell off, narrowly missing Princess Anne. The total cost to the taxpayer of keeping the monarchy increased by £1.5m to £41.5m during the 2008-09 financial year – effectively 69p per British person last year and an increase of 3p on the previous year. The civil list was £13.9m last year, 43% of which came from the Queen's reserve. If she continues drawing on the reserve at the current rate, she will run out of funds by 2012 – the year of her diamond jubilee. The fund has gone down from £35m to £21m over the last decade. The current deal – in which the Queen gets £7.9m a year – was agreed by Sir John Major in 1990. The arrangement expires in 2010. 实践证明经常访问无忧英语教育网 www.51education.net ,能迅速提高你的英语学习能力!积沙成塔,不断提高! 本站所提供的所有信息仅供学校课堂教学及英语学习者学习研究之用,其著作权归原作者及媒体所有。 |
