The Palace of
Westminster has fallen behind with its maintenance work. Tell me the old old story. As ever this means that work is becoming
urgent or else and the costings vary.
Numbers of
billions of pounds are predicted and the one certain thing is that after they
start they will find a lot more to be done.
Also, there will be committees full of people with bright and expensive
ideas.
A while back
in this blog the suggestion was made that Parliament should go to Tamworth in
basic buildings for the key functions.
With all the technical facilities around a lot could be out sourced and
for that matter a lot of the members as well.
Of course,
there will be a strong case put for tradition, but it need not be the 19th
Century one that claimed to have some sort of medieval origin.
My view is
that if history is the guide there are much better choices to be had; such as
in the picture above.
If this were
adopted there would be no problem of public interest or TV coverage and in
addition there would be predictable natural wastage enabling the proper
management of business.
At least our MPs would have to be fit.
