§ Mr. Harold Walkerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment by how much the Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster is out of perpendicular; to what extent any leaning of the tower has developed since the construction of the car park; and what remedial work is being undertaken.
§ Sir George YoungThe Clock Tower is 240mm—9 inches—out of perpendicular at its top—less than 0.3 per132W cent. The construction of the underground car park caused no discernible movement; and regular checks have detected no significant movement over the last 15 years.
