Build a new UK Parliament building and move Parliament to that building
The Government is set to authorise a scheme which will cost the taxpayer approximately £22billion to refurbish the Palace of Westminster, which was approved by Parliament by the Parliamentary Buildings (Restoration and Renewal) Act 2019. This cost is clearly disproportionate to the taxpayer.
It has been in the past that buildings costs have been significantly higher on completion than originally anticipated, for example the estimated cost of the Scottish Parliament was between £10-£40million but its completion costs £414million. It is possible that a significantly low estimate of a building is made in the future. In any event, the current cost proposed cannot be justified, let alone in the current cost of living crisis. To force the taxpayer to foot the bill would be impermissible.
