The Queen asked for bo specific amount but told Parliament Wedneiday the royal housekeeping are at members' disposal. Some court receives Prince Philip $36,000: Princess Aane, TH I DRIVING PLEASURE Princess Margaret, $36,000 nd the Duke of Gloucester, the Queen's uncle, $84,000. Pnnce Charles has the income from the estates of the Duchy of Cornwall, about CENTRE $264,000 tax free.

The Queen has to pay from her allotment for the upkeep of two royal residences, Buck ingham Palace and Windsor Castle, and their tremendous sr staff. In recent years, the govern ment has helped out a bit by un derwriting some of the expenses of the Queen when she does a chore for a particular ministry, such as inaugurating a dam or opening a new housing estate. When Whitelaw made his an nouncement about appointing a committee to investigate the Queen's pay claim, opposition sources said she needs about $1.92 million. She now gets an cllowance of $1.02 million. The government prepared to puih legislation through before the summer holiday, but one opponent of the monarchy served notice of a battle ahead.

The Queen's appeal to the House of Commons came on the 13th. anniversary of her last quest to Parliament for a raise. That was at the start of her reign.

It is to report back by July so that legislative action can be completed before the summer holiday at the end of that month.

An earlier sovereign, George III. assigned to Parliament all revenue from the crown estates in exchange for an annual allowance. Revenue from the estates amounted this year to $8.4 million while direct grants to the Royal Family total only $1,538 million. The Queen's request came as no surprise.

Prince Philip, who reputedly oversees the royal bookkeeping, told an American television audience in November, 1969, the Royal Family leader Harold Wilson reminded him that by tradition the MPs could debate the committee's report all they want but not the actual motion to increase the royal grants. By custom, he said, this goes through without debate. That was when William Ham-ilton, a Scottish Laborite, jumped to his feet amid a cho I A.y en im xr rus of groans.
