</p><p>The risks of failure relating to the physical condition of the Palace of Westminster
are reviewed and mitigated as part of the operation and maintenance of the Parliamentary
Estate. These risks include fire, hitting uncharted underground services, unexploded
ordnance, and failure of legally required services, all of which have mitigation plans
in place to reduce the risk of failure. The table below shows the current assessment
of the likelihood of the top five risk events in relation to catastrophic failure.</p><p>
