More oop north

The suggestion that the House of Lords might move to York could be more evidence of The Cummings Influence. Other possibilities said to have been considered are Harrogate, and Ponteland, just north of Newcastle.

There's a 45 hectare largely brownfield development site called York Central which has outline planning underway, that could easily be adjusted. Or, if you want to move faster, a range of older and newer historic across buildings that might be modified.  What about the Chapter House of York Minster - Parliament met there in 1296. Or a nifty re-modelling of the Railway Musem, utilising the the turntable ?

Either way, if the re-modelling of the Palace of Westminster continues at a snail's pace, MPs could just shuffle across into the empty Lords Chamber, while their Commons gaff is tarted up. And that would save a bob or two on other temporary accommodation.
