  That is one part of the public sector that doesn't face spending cuts.

  And everyone in the House of Parliament. They begin the £10 billion refurbishment of the Palace of Westminster soon. Yes. £10 billion.

  I can only assume that we all get free bed and board at buck house if we stop overnight up the smoke, what with our money paying for it.
  Turn it into a block of luxury apartments for the very wealthy, and put the money into the nhs.

  When we look at the repairs to the building ,they are not own by the Royal Family but us,and it must be of good repair for our vistors from over seas to walk round and our self ,The Queen does live there but as the keeper not the owner and I for one is happy she does .

  Buckingham Palace has not had a major revamp in decades and has that building belongs to the nation then it's down to,is to pay for it ,,Personally prefer to splash out on our Royal Family then the amount we are paying out for these man child's that's swarming in

  In fairness the bedroom tax must be exorbitant.

  That is a lot of council house they are renting and its in a prime position in central London. Anyone else thinking time to knock it down and put up a car park, cross rail station and multiplex cinema?
