Parliament risks 'catastrophic event' without urgent renovation

MPs have issued a stark warning that the Palace of Westminster, home to the UK Parliament, is on the brink of a "catastrophic event" if the long-delayed renovation project isn't urgently addressed. The building's structural integrity is deteriorating, raising concerns about safety and the long-term viability of one of the UK's most iconic landmarks. This situation underscores the critical need for swift action to avoid potentially disastrous consequences for both the building and the institution it houses. The urgency of the matter highlights the broader implications for national heritage and the functioning of democratic governance.
