'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. '
