The UK government is poised to address scrutiny issues regarding Prince Andrew and royal family members' use of public funds. Labour peer George Foulkes has submitted questions regarding Andrew's spending after engaging in discussions with Deputy Speaker John Gardiner. Current parliamentary rules, guided by Erskine May, restrict inquiries into the royal family's conduct, focusing primarily on the costs related to royal properties and events. Foulkes calls for reforms to enhance transparency, particularly concerning taxpayer money used by the monarchy amid ongoing concerns about Andrew's conduct.
