Big Ben row: MPs kept in dark over plan to silence bongs for four years
'MPs were not told Big Ben would be silenced for four years when they approved a £29 million renovation scheme, The Telegraph can disclose. '
'The chairmen of two Commons’ committees have complained that officials failed to disclose that the bell could not be rung to protect the hearing of builders on site. '
'Parliamentary authorities have announced that Big Ben will chime for the last time at noon on Monday until the completion of the work on Elizabeth Tower in 2021. '
'The decision has led to demands for the bell to ring when builders are off site - such as in the evenings, early mornings and at weekends. '

How could that be I have know about Big Ben being secured to protect the workers ears for at least a month. Oh I live in the states. Guess the UK MP's do not read the news.
