MPs vote to vacate parliament during £3.5bn revamp

摘要

Builders carrying out vital repairs to the Palace of Westminster are expected to start by the middle of the next decade after MPs agreed last week to leave the crumbling grade Misted structure while work takes place. MPs voted by 236 to 220 for a proposal that will pave the way for a full programme of works, which will see the House of Commons relocate to Richmond House, a former Department of Health building down the road in Whitehall.
