The_Munchmaster 201 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Did they ever come up with a final amount that the Scottish parliament building cost? Yes, £414.4m! Closure of Holyrood Project 018/2007 | 21 February 2007 The Presiding Officer George Reid MSP announced to Members of the Scottish Parliament today that: •The final cost of Holyrood has been reduced by £16.1m. The cost to the taxpayer therefore will fall from an estimated £430.5m to £414.4m. •The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB), after extensive investigation, has decided not to litigate on issues during the construction phase of the Holyrood project. •But, post-construction, the SPCB has instructed action for the recovery of the costs arising from the collapse of the strut in the Chamber on 2 March, 2006. Making the announcement today Mr Reid said: "As Lord Fraser made clear, everyone engaged in the project - consultants, contractors, MSPs, staff - might have managed it better. "So in making our announcement today, we are not trying to sweep past problems out of the way. The most we can claim is a steely determination to get a grip on the project; to move us in and then to move us on; and never to give up on our dedication to get back what we could for the public purse.†He added: "Which is why I use the word ‘closure’ in its full double meaning today. Closure in the sense of finalising the accounts. But closure also in the psychological sense of finally letting go of a problem, of releasing oneself for new opportunities and challenges. "And with closure, I very much hope that Scotland’s third Parliament will, in May, get off to a fresh start.†Link to post Share on other sites
