Parliament crumbles: Saving the Palace of Westminster - BBC News
Rats crawling around. An infestation of moths. Effluent leaking through the floors.
This scene of devastation is hardly the image that springs to mind when most people think about the Houses of Parliament, but the architectural masterpiece is crumbling in its old age.
Parliament restoration plan could cost up to £5.7bn - BBC News
Major restoration of the Houses of Parliament without moving MPs and peers out would cost £5.7bn and take 32 years, a report says.
If MP and peers were moved out for six years, the cost would drop to £3.5bn, an independent report has said.(save money. yet these mps dont blush at the word food banks., when quoted at them)
The £3.5bn option would include some new features, such as a lift up the Elizabeth Tower, which with its famous clock and bell is popularly known as Big Ben, a media centre for TV interviews and "increased breakout, formal and informal meeting areas" for those who work in the Palace of Westminster.
For a slightly higher spend of an estimated £3.9bn, the full move-out of MPs and peers would also enable a new visitor centre, including exhibition, education and conference facilities.
side note
some new features,such as a lift up the Elizabeth Tower, a new visitor centre, including exhibition, education and conference facilities .ie more people in the sinking building.
at a educated guess, a sinking building, , why would you add new features. ie making the building heaver. lol
move then to mr sugars office, and use his catch phrase on them. lol
