Bob Blackman

Conservative — Harrow East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 October 2024

Debate

Restoration and Renewal

Contribution

I apologise for not being here earlier. Can the hon. Gentleman confirm that we are spending more than £1 million a month on just the maintenance of this Palace? The long delay—there is no reason for it—over making these decisions lengthens the process and leads to the taxpayer paying more money, and it is leading to more degradation of this Palace as we sit here.
