A temporary replacement for the House of Commons might soon be needed, if a refurbishment plan is accepted.
Under the proposals, being looked at by parliamentary authorities, the Commons chamber would close for up to three years while the roof is repaired.
An alternative venue would have to be found where MPs could hold their debates and pass laws.
=======================
Anyone got a spare debating chamber?

Consequences of all that hot air rising. It can't be very environmentally friendly!

We've got a disused food processing factory in Hull that could be used.
