There is a Hall in York
for them to use




[The refurbishment of the Houses of Parliament
could cost almost £40bn and take 61 years,
under proposals presented to MPs and peers.

It's one option presented by the team
working on the long-delayed restoration
of the historic building, which is falling apart
and costs £1.5m a week to maintain.

The team has also suggested moving MPs
and peers out of the Palace of Westminster
for up to 24 years from 2032,
under a refurbishment plan that could cost
as much as £15.6bn.

MPs and peers will debate and vote on the plan
to develop these two options and the
completion of initial works.

Is it a good idea to move it away from the capital? Why? I'm sure it's not beyond them to find a space somewhere in the capital. What do the people of York think about it?

Northampton (in my beloved county) was once a de facto capital, they should go there!!

The money this is going to cost, and the number of years even the young ones of the forum will be dead :laugh:
