Building columnist and former minister joins MPs and peers on committee scrutinising bill sanctioning multi-billion-pound revamp plan

Lord Stunell, the Liberal Democrat peer, Building columnist and former local government minister, has been appointed to a joint Parliamentary committee which will launch a probe into the legislation which paves the way for the controversial multi-billion-pound restoration of the Palace of Westminster.

Stunell joins Lord Blunkett, the former Labour home secretary, and four other peers on the committee, along with MPs Neil Gray of the Scottish Nationalists, the Conservative and ex-Defra minister Caroline Spelman and fellow Tories Sir Edward Leigh and the former DeExEu secretary David Jones, plus Labour’s Meg Hillier and Mark Tami.
