	answer	answer answer text <p>The Elizabeth Tower refurbishment project, with a budget of £61 million jointly funded by the two Houses, is intended to conserve and prevent further deterioration of the Elizabeth Tower, including the Great Clock; ensure its fire safety compliance; improve the health and safety of the Elizabeth Tower for Members, staff and the public; improve the security and the efficiency of emergency evacuations; and improve the efficiency of the tours in the Elizabeth Tower. No works are required to be undertaken on the Great Bell (“Big Ben”) itself. The project is due for completion in 2021.</p><p><br>Work on the project is progressing well. For instance, all elements of the Great Clock, and all cast iron roof components, have been removed from the Tower for conservation work and glazing, gilding and paint stripping work are continuing. Work on restoring the original colour scheme for the clock dials is well advanced. Arrangements have been made to ensure the Great Bell is sounded to mark Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day, and to ring in the New Year on New Year’s Eve. <br> <br>The Finance Committee receives regular updates on the progress of the project.</p><p> </p> question first answered 07/01/2019 13:17:32 answering member 4148

	answer	answer answer text <p>All regions and nations have an important role to play in the future prosperity of the country. As such, the government is committed to levelling up opportunity across the UK while also enhancing the UK’s existing strengths. This is why the Government continues to demonstrate its commitment to London and the South East, for example investing around £1.7 billion in 48 high-value projects through the Housing Infrastructure Fund, building ten new hospitals, and investing over £120 million from the Transforming Cities Fund in cities such as Southampton and Portsmouth. There are 5.9 million workforce jobs in London, and 22,000 civil service roles will be relocated out of London and the South East by 2030, as announced at Budget 2020.</p> question first answered 08/02/2021 14:59:44 answering member 4689
