Conclusion
The Sponsor Body has not yet developed cost and time estimates as it is unclear what the Programme is delivering, or when. It expects to develop these as part of the business case, after building its understanding of uncertainties.43 The Sponsor Body felt that the costs and timeframe relating to the Programme should be delivered as an evidence-based range rather than a fixed figure and date, given these inherent uncertainties.44 41 Construction of Portcullis House the new Parliamentary building, Response of the House of Commons Commission to the Sixty-Third Report from the Committee of Public Accounts, House of Commons Paper 861 of Session 2001–02, and to the Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General, House of Commons Paper 750 of Session 2001–02, 30 0ctober 2002. 42 Committee of Public Accounts, Fiftieth Report of Session 2007–08, Preparations for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, HC 890, 24 July 2008 43 C&AG’s Report, para 2.28 44 Q 57 14 Restoration and renewal of the Palace of Westminster 3 Engaging with stakeholders Building consensus in Parliament on the Programme’s requirements
