“In order to maintain and increase HB&P’s investment income, and to provide for increasing staff and staff related costs, and given the uncertainty of the level of subsidies from Historic England and CADW, it is the policy to put to reserve and invest all legacies (unless made for some other specific purpose), all life membership subscriptions and all capital gains arising on the disposal of HB&P’s investments.
