Parliamentary website redesign costs over £3 million

By John Hirst

Parliamentary website redesign costs over £3 million

MPs have spent more than £3 million of taxpayers' cash redesigning the parliamentary website, it has been revealed.

The overhaul, which has taken more than two years, was approved in an effort to make the houses of parliament more accessible to the public.

The total bill now stands at £3,644,000, according to figures released by the House of Commons Commission, which is chaired by Speaker Michael Martin.

Further running costs of the website - Parliament.uk - totalled £239,000 last year.

The redesign, described as a "radical upgrade" by MPs, was urged by the Commons modernisation committee and sanctioned by the House in 2006.

Nick Harvey, spokesman for the House of Commons commission, said the enhancements included "improved design and navigation" and "simpler presentation" of bills and a "greatly improved" search engine.

The money has also bought an online calendar of Commons and Lords business and a section explaining the role of parliament.

Perhaps we ought to redesign MPs if the idiots have agreed to pay £3M of taxpayers money to redesign a website? And, almost quarter of a million per year to run it.
