Not really, I saw this yesterday and we could get shafted by this, the old maxim of squeeze them for everything before we go under will probably be foremost in their minds.

Houses of Parliament cost over £200 million annually to operate - if Pickles and co joined the BBC and Balotelli in moving to lovely Manchester (or even better did video conferencing and electronic voting) we could save a fortune.

Lease is up soon anyway....given the economic climate we'll be very lucky if the owners want to buy it, probably go to a property developer.  A lot of the cunts on here voted for this, so can't really complain.

I think it would have been by now if that was possible.  I'm no lawyer, mind.
