Sixty years since Parliament's last major refurbishment, a committee of MPs wants all members of the Commons and Lords to move out of Parliament in bicycles.

Some of the restoration committee's members were doubtful of the need for a total relocation at first, rather than having the repairs in stages to allow members to remain in situ.

A senior parliamentary committee is to recommend that all MPs and there personals vacate both Houses of Parliament for six years to allow for urgent repairs.

The report will suggest they relocate to nearby buildings, as early as 2020, to enable the £4bn restoration project. Both Houses of Parliament would need to approve the move which is seen as the quickest and cheapest solution.

Members of both Houses of Parliament are expected to vote after they study and assimilate the committee's report.

Leaking roofs, rotting stonework Parts of the Palace of Westminster are so riddled with asbestos, frail stonework and ageing electrics and wiring, it has been the Grade I-listed building would be knocked down if it was not protected.

The plan would be for MPs to relocate to the Department of Health's headquarters on Whitehall, building a temporary debating chamber in the courtyard in which they would continue to form and look thoroughly our laws, vote, deliver statements and hold PMQs.

It is a safe location on the parliamentary estate and many MPs have offices in neighboring buildings.
