The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she plans to reform the Sovereign Grant at the next review.

Answered by Darren Jones

As required by the Sovereign Grant Act 2011, the next review of the Sovereign Grant will take place in 2026. The government has committed to bring forward legislation to reset the Grant to a lower level from 2027-28 once Buckingham Palace reservicing works are completed.
