Head of State expenditure is the official expenditure relating to The Queen’s duties as Head of State and Head of the Commonwealth.
ReplyDeleteHead of State expenditure is met from public funds in exchange for the surrender by The Queen of the revenue from the Crown Estate.
Head of State expenditure excludes the costs of Police and Army security and of Armed Services ceremonial, as figures are not available.
Every year the Royal Household publishes an Annual Summary of Head of State expenditure, together a full report on Royal public finances.
The Queen’s duties as Head of State include:
ReplyDelete• undertaking constitutional duties, for example the State Opening of Parliament, regular audiences with the Prime Minister, meetings of the Privy Council, giving Royal Assent to legislation and approving many appointments;
• fulfilling constitutional responsibilities in relation to the Scottish Parliament and, where appropriate, the Welsh and Northern Ireland Assemblies;
• carrying out State and Royal Visits overseas and receiving State and Official visitors to the United Kingdom;
• receiving credentials from foreign Heads of Mission; and
• presenting honours at Investitures.
In addition, the role of The Queen, supported by members of the Royal Family, extends more widely than these formal duties and includes:
• providing a focus for national identity, unity and pride (for example on Remembrance
Sunday and at times of national celebration or tragedy);
• providing a sense of stability and continuity (for example by participating in traditional ceremonies such as Trooping the Colour);
• recognising success, achievement and excellence (for example through visits, receptions and awards); and
• contributing through public service and the voluntary sector to the life of the nation; in this area The Queen is particularly supported by the work of other members of the Royal Family (for example The Prince’s Trust and The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme).
