The Senior Deputy Speaker (Lord Gardiner of Kimble)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 June 2025

Debate

Palace of Westminster: Restoration and Renewal

Contribution

My Lords, the expectation is that the R&R client board, which is the commissions of both Houses, will publish costed proposals on three options—full decant, continued presence, and enhanced maintenance and improvement—by the end of the year, to enable both Houses to decide the way forward. Subject to those decisions, any significant decant would not begin in this Parliament, as the programme would commence with procurement, planning applications and enabling works.
