MP: Probe prince's 'millionaire subsidy'
Labour MP Paul Flynn demands probe into Prince Charles's Duchy of Cornwall

Labour MP Paul Flynn demanded a probe into "income support for millionaires" yesterday following revelations that Prince Charles's Duchy of Cornwall is exempt from corporation tax.

Mr Flynn called for full-scale scrutiny of how the royals rake in their cash, including the £19.1 million surplus chalked up by the Duchy of Cornwall over the past year.

"It would be indefensible to have a form of income support for millionaires," said the Newport West MP.
