We questioned the Clerk of the House of Commons on the timeframes and Parliamentary processes required to make any changes and provide more certainty. He told us that the House Commissions had sought additional assurance work ahead of a June 2022 joint meeting to agree a report setting out their reasoning to Members of both Houses. On 14 June, the Commissions published their joint report setting out the issues to be voted on by the Houses. This considered the findings of the assurance work, with the independent expert review panel’s report as an annex. 21 HC49 Q31 22 Letter from Dr John Benger, 29 March 2022 23 HC 49 Qq 92–93; C&AG’s Report, Palace of Westminster Restoration and Renewal Programme, Session 2019–21, HC 315, 24 April 2022 24 HC49 Q 18 25 HC1100 Q 49 26 C&AG’s Report, para 2.4 27 HC1100 Q 157, HC49 Q 20 28 HC49 Q 18 29 HC49 Q 21 30 Joint report from the House of Commons and House of Lords Commissions, 14 June 2022, page 11 31 Joint correspondence from the Clerk of the House of Commons and Clerk of the Parliaments, 20 May 2022 32 Press notice from the Sponsor Body 26 March 2022 Restoration and Renewal of Parliament 13
