Commercialising Westminster
Having reviewed the papers on Radio Wales this morning I have had a bit more time than usual to scan the news and also to look at publications I would not normally consider.
Thus, I refer to the Cross Bencher column in the Sunday Express, which reveals that the Palace of Westminster is being put out to hire to raise funds for refurbishment. They say that companies will be able to hire the ornate Pugin Room or the Churchill Dining Room, take clients for a £4,000 day out at Portcullis House or for a £24 per head cream tea.
Somehow I cannot see the Welsh Senedd being able to do the same.
