Repairing the crumbling Palace of Westmonster will take 19 to 24 years and cost £16 billion if MPs, peers and their hangers-on can be moved elsewhere. Otherwise, with that lot getting in the way, the job won’t be completed until 2087 at the earliest and the bill will top £40 billion.
The result of the planned changes, according to former MP J. Rees-Mogg, will be something that looks like a tart’s boudoir, not restoration.
