Parliamentary Buildings (Restoration and Renewal) Act 2019
Summary
This Act gives permission and funding for a large-scale restoration and renewal project of the Parliamentary Buildings in Westminster. It's essentially Parliament's way of saying 'yes' to fixing up the old, historic building that houses the House of Commons and House of Lords.
