Restoring the Palace of Westminster could cost up to £39–40 billion, take decades, and may require relocating MPs and peers for up to 24 years.
There will be a couple of late openings of the Houses of Parliament over the next couple of months, allowing us, the electorate, inside to take a look around. The evenings will also mark the 75th anniversary of the rebuilding of the House of Commons Chamber after it was bombed during the Second World War. This self-guided evening offers an opportunity to explore the UK Parliament after hours, including the House of Commons Chamber, the House of Lords Chamber, Central Lobby, and Westminster Hall.
