Question

To ask the hon. Member for Broxbourne, representing the Restoration and Renewal Client Board, what the estimated cost is of delivering Parliament’s restoration and renewal programme.

The Delivery Authority and Parliament's R&R Client Team have been working to the mandate set out in the resolutions of both Houses in July 2022 and the Parliamentary Buildings (Restoration and Renewal) Act 2019.

In line with the mandate set by the Houses, the Delivery Authority is currently developing a wide range of options for the restoration and renewal work. These options will be considered by the R&R Programme Board and the R&R Client Board in the coming months.

Both Houses will be asked to approve a way forward later this year and will receive high-level cost and schedule information to inform this decision.
