Text
With your permission, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker, I will group questions 4, 10 and 11. I thank the Members for their questions. The Assembly Commission is pleased to have reached a full and final confidential settlement in relation to the legal proceedings initiated following the previous work project. Following that agreement, all legal proceedings have now concluded, and the focus is on carrying out the remedial repairs. Work to repair the roof will be carried out in two distinct phases. Phase 1 will address the issues at the rear of the Building. Officials are considering whether three internal courtyards should be included in that phase or whether all the courtyard works should be completed as part of phase 2, which will encompass the remainder of the repairs. Phase 1 is planned to be carried out during the summer recess by properties division. The remainder of the works will be carried out by construction division and will address all areas of water ingress. Construction division formally agreed in December 2024 to carry out the repairs. Due to the scale of the project, it is anticipated that the work will commence in early 2026.
