Rejected petition Make The Palace of Westminster a museum and build a new Palace in the midlands
The Palace of Westminster is due to be refurbished at a cost of £4bn, which will inevitably rise to twice that cost on completion. A new Parliament building in the midlands would cost much less and on-site accommodation could be built to save the taxpayer paying for MPs second homes in the Capital.
