The Palace of Westminster is falling apart and is in urgent need of fundamental repair, according to the Houses of Parliament Restoration & Renewal Programme.

With a plethora of problems including crumbling stones, cracking ceilings and warping windows - essential work is being planned for the iconic home of British democracy.

But recent research revealed a skills shortage in the heritage sector, particularly with jobs such as stonemasonry, joinery and roofing.

Restoration & Renewal bosses visited the Building Crafts College in Stratford, east London, on the hunt for fresh talent to help save the historic palace.
