Parliament repair 'could cost £5.7bn'

Major repairs and upgrades to Parliament could cost an estimated £5.7bn and drag on for up to 40 years unless MPs and peers agree to temporarily move out, a report has concluded.

It suggests the basic work, as well as some extras, could be carried out for an estimated £3.5bn over a likely duration of six years if both Houses of Parliament agree to move to alternative premises at the same time.
