Summary
Parliament’s aging home is crumbling—fires, asbestos, and structural decay demand urgent action. With repair costs ballooning to $39 billion and delays adding $420 million yearly, lawmakers face a brutal choice: a $11B–$15B full move-out in 20 years, or a $40B phased renovation keeping Parliament in place for up to 61 years. A $3B emergency package for design and temporary digs is on the table, but critics warn delays only inflate costs. MPs and peers must decide by 2030—getting this right means decades of stability, and they can’t afford to wait. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
