A Buckingham Palace source said that publishing the figures left the monarchy with "no place to hide" and would improve accountability.

More than 200 rooms over six floors of the east wing, which faces out onto The Mall, will be emptied over the next six months to prepare for the replacement of ageing electrics and pipework.
